    Whiteman1970 from Germantown ohio, does anyone like to chrome 170/200. So far I have a chrome valve cover, chrome oil pan, and looking to check out this chrome thermostat to see if the waterpump pulley clearance is ok because of the radius on the new chrome thermostat, already had shock towers rechromed and master cylinder cap rechromed. Is there any company out their that may have chrome pulleys for the 200, Or would I have to have them rechromed too. Chrome thermo is located at ford six performance parts.

    Cool ... I put a chrome air cleaner and valve cover on my 250 but they don't make chrome oil pans for it ... or I would have gotten one.

    has anyone ordered the chrome dress up kit from jcwhittney.com(sp)? it seemed pretty cheap, no pullies though.

    whiteman1970, I'm supposed to go with my brother Inline6, but right now I'm working on my 351w swap into my 70 Maverick. If things are going well, I'm going to work on the car. If I'm frustrated and need a break, I'll go to the Expo.

    yes all the brackets were chromed.. i don't think anyone makes them.. though i think the i6 bracket is the same as the 302... i know PAW carries them
