Pick up an Ecklers or Mid America catologue. They have alot of dress up kits for the LT1. I like the look of a modestly dressed up engine rather than one with every prefab chrome part put on. Good luck!

I understand completly and I use to agree but things are different now for me. I want my engine to look as good as it runs. I dont want to go all out, I just want it to look nice.
