Once you start chroming under the hood it is hard to know when to stop! Be prepared to spend some big bucks.
I looks good on bikes and open front hot rods but may be a bit extreme on these cars.

Because he wants to bitch about it when it fails next year from the chrome holding in heat, then replace it with a stock one.
