Chrome??
George sells polished aluminum timing covers. They start at $250. You can chrome any FE timing cover BUT if you have gone through that much trouble (getting the surface straight enough to shine) just polish it. It's a richer better looking finish.
It takes about 10 hours to get a typical timing cover straight enough to chrome or polish. That represents about $200 of the $250 cost. That's why the cost is so high. That said I have a nicely polished spare you can have for $180. It was in an engine that broke a cam and had the cam walk out and the gear scored the inside surface. It was professionally repaired and impossible to see the heliarc weld from the outside.
Or you can polish your own. Start with 120 grit sandpaper and work your way down (up) to 2000 and then hit it with a buffer
