Chrome fan or not???
Thinking about chroming the fan to match the chrome on the engine.
Has anyone done this and was there any problems like balance?

I bought a chrome fan on ebay. It came off of a BB, but works just fine on my SB. No problems!

Heres "everything" all shined up or chromed. Aluminum heads, valve covers, alt, water pump, oil pump, fuel pump, intake, fan, pulleys, distributor, front cover, brackets, lines, linkage,
except the carbs. So why not chrome it.
Hell, shine everything, you only go around once!

I have a Stainless Steel flex fan, looks like chrome, works great. However i've heard horror stories about flex fan's breaking, keeping my fingers crossed.
