It looks like I might be adding a Turbo Tech Turbo Street Kit to my car this winter and I will have to relocate the Alt to the top pass side. With it being up top and very visible, I want to get it Chrome plated to match all the other items that I have chromed.

Can you take a LS1 Alt apart to get it chrome plated? Has anyone ever done this?

i think you could, but why not just polish it?

Anything can be done if you throw enough money at it!

Seriously, I'm sure if you had the alternator disassembled, you could have the housing and pulley dipped...there are lots of chrome alternators available for classics via the aftermarket, so this shouldn't be a problem...

EDIT: Any automotive electrical shop/alternator shop should have no problem disassembling the alternator...

Chrome is way better than polishing...

Are there any aftermarket chrome alts that will bolt up/wire up?

YES!

I talked to a guy at Firestone a number of months ago and he showed me an add that had a CHROME alternator.

You mean like this??



I guess that would make the answer yes.. lol..

Take you alt to a place that rebuilds them.. have them pull it apart.. have the casings chromed.. take the casings back to the rebuilder and have them rebuild it..

voila! chromed alternator..
