LT1 is alot easier to give a chrome look to. You can get chrome valve covers... TB plates... painted or polished intake manifolds and throttle bodies...chrome alternators. You can get the vortech elbow if you done have a ram air setup.... chrome strut tower brace.....

You should learn how to polish, if you do know how and have a jigsaw you can make alot of the parts yourself out of .125-.160 60-61-t6 aluminum. Thunderracing.com has a few polished parts. slp makes a chrome intake, and it does well with the trickflow or vortech elbow. BMR makes a polished radiator support.

And of course to give you some ideas...
