High temp chrome in a can. Id have to find the can to remember the name. It may not last, but looks good for now.

I think everyone here is a little jealous of choptop right about now.  He's got himself an awesome gal.

Id have to say its a mild bigblock, built for longevity. 425 hp/425 ftlb torque. Balanced, blueprinted, decked .100, Rehr Morrison built heads.4bolt mains, steel crank, Keith black pistons,280 cam Edelbrock 2-0 with a Holly 750.
Good cruising engine, but will handle more rpms than most.
