Subject- chrome plating. I'm sure you will get a lot of helpful advice and opinions here when you are ready. For me in California, and after years of trial and error (mostly error), I will not use any plater in this state. I use Paul's Plating in Pennsylvania. Always good work, all chrome on the car will match, but expensive. The covers cost me $800, but they removed all bracketry including the baffles, straightened the sheet metal and then chromed. They turned out better than I had anticipated. I would have been happy with something less but they look great. I am sure anyone visiting this website has stories to tell, good luck to all. By the way, here is my motor, I'm just a little ahead of you. My motor has been dyno'd and is being detailed and about ready for those chrome v/covers.View attachment 1715329657View attachment 1715329658View attachment 1715329659View attachment 1715329659
Hi Murray.On original BB engines in "A" cars, not only did the block have the the two forward bolt holes threaded, but the factory cut off the rear, unused "ear". So in an original car , both will be present.
Your 68 looks beautiful. Great job Murray.If I recall correctly, that hole is somewhat larger than the bolt. I assumed that was to allow some flexibility on install. Make sure that bolt has a flat washer on it to capture the mount. Good luck. Update- car now runs, you're next.
