Chrome Plating an Iron Block?
Chrome Plating an Iron Block? I was talking to a guy a work and he said back home in Arizona, he knew of people that had their Iron blocks chrome plated and then had the machine work done.
Is this possible? Even if it is, wouldn't it flake off on the inside over time?
It would be pretty cool to chrome a 6.0L block, talk about some BLING!!!

I don't see why you "couldn't"........you would have to have all the surfaces machined afterwards though (which would cost you almost as much as buying a re-sleeved aluminum block) 
I'm sure it can be done. I've got (no ****) a 24 carat gold plated 355 for my Anglia. It was gonna be a show car, but I yanked the engine for another since I actually want to drive it. Now the 24 carat motor is on a stand for show.

If you do chrome the block I'd make sure your cooling system is top-notch due to the heat retention the plating will add. ME thinks it'd be a waste if the block is going into anything other than a open bay roadster. You'd hardly see it in a F-body or C5
