So, I'll be needing a few miscelaneous pieces for the 383 build (oil dipstick, Balancer, oil pan, timing cover....etc.) and I was brousing Ebay and saw a couple neat pieces that I thought might be better quality than say your standard steel pieces.

Timing cover: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SB-Chevy-Polished-Aluminum-Timing-Chain-Cover-sbc_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33625QQihZ009QQitemZ190220194799QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

Finned Oil pan:

Checked out the feedback. Seems to be mostly good.

Thoughts anyone?

My mother says there used to be a saying when she was into hot rodding. If it don't go, chrome it!

Having said that, I dislike chrome. Brushed aluminum, flat/matte black or gret would look better. Smile

Nothing wrong with some Chrome and some Brushed Aluminum. Shiney is easier to clean.

oil pans are diff on the 3rd gen they have a shallow slope to match the contour of the k member and exhaust cross over

Yeah, I figured to be on the safe side, I just bought the timing cover.
