Welcome kneedown, nice pictures! I'm not sure the engine can be chromed or not. But a lot of people have polished the aluminum for a good shine. The engine has a layer of clear coat on it that needs to be removed. The spotting on your engine are places where the clear coat had a pit in it.

Welcome, kneedown.

I'm not into chopping/bobbing myself but, if I were, I can imagine how exciting it must be to have a fresh canvas to work with. Enjoy.

When I come visit the UK, you will introduce me to those friends of yours. Oh, yes...you will.
