i'd think you'd be asking for trouble with a chrome pan in Maine... i avoid chrome at all costs.. it does not hold up well at all.. it'll be rusting in a couple years at most.. anything i buy bling is either polished aluminum or stainless...

get you self a good stainless bolt kit and braided stainless steel lines to plumb the engine. If you are looking for a show engine take your time and smooth out the rough casting lines on the block with a grinder it will look a lot better that way
