anyone know if you can get an 'engine dress up kit' for a Chimaera? Have seen them in the US for Ford V8's etc. Also do TVR use a high temp paint when they paint 500 rocker box cover's or is it just normal paint.

You can get silicone hose kits, and stainless oil pipes etc from ACT. A bit of elbow grease gets lots of alloy bits shiny. Magnecor leads add a bit of colour. What else do you want? Neons?

Hello Mark,

If you mean can I fit bigger Rocker boxes
from say a US big block or a small block
then the answer is YES.
Aluminium adaptor plates are required
I had details on AutoCad for machining also have a pattern if you want them cast.
3 of my cars have them fitted

You can also send your rocker covers away to be painted. Not sure what colours they do but give Leven a call. I think it costs about £50.
