Question chrome or black satin finish on 289?65 stang

I'm putting a remanufactured 289 in my 1965 mustang. I can't decide to go with a Motorsport theme, Ford Racing theme, or a Mustang theme. I'm also debating whether to go with a chrome or black satin finish for the valve covers and the air cleaners/breathers. If you have any pictures, that would be awesome. Otherwise, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Go with some m/t valve covers and polish the fins

I agree with Twister, chrome is just done too often. Yeah, it's cool at shows, but it'd get old to me after a while. I much more prefer like a flat black color or something of that sort.
