Re: chrome valve covers

[Gary Pavlovich <glpavlovich@xxxxxxx>]

Wayne,

Your best source would be to have your existing valve covers chromed.
You may check your local re-chrome shops for pricing.  If you run into 
problems or need another quote on rechroming I can check our local shop for 
pricing for you.  Additionally, I do have a set of the ultra-rare Edelbrock 
finned aluminum valve covers for the Poly but they are expensive.

Take care,
Gary Pavlovich
