I have a 1979 Chevy C10 pickup with a create SBC 350. This is my daily driver, but I'm also restoring it. I'm pulling the motor soon to prep it for painting and I was going to put on a chrome dress kit, which includes the valve covers, timing chain cover, air breather, and Alternator. I was also looking at upgrading the intake, but a mechanic friend of mine keeps telling me that since it is my daily driver that I shouldn't go with chrome valve covers or replace the intake, because they tend to leak, and also won't dissipate the engine heat as well. He says that Chrome is more for show cars and not daily drivers. Is this true?
