The power steering reservoir came from Creative Engine Covers, there here on forum, left side bar, the piece they sell is chrome, and I had it black chromed after I bought it, they do not sell black chrome, everything you see on the engine was custom made, you can't buy it that way, accept for the caps, and altenator cover ! Thanks for the interset ! All the black chrome was done in SE Pa, by Coat of Chrome !

Wow! Never saw your original post, but that is one very impressive looking engine! Would it be impolite to ask how much that all cost?

Thanks, love the look. Only planning on having a few accent pieces black chrome on mine. I already have the black chrome master cylinder cover, CCA sells those and black chrome catch cans. Guess I might have to follow your route to get the power steering reservoir done.
