Mopar Bell Housing.

Just a quick question that I believe I already know the answer to.

Would the '69 Mopar 440 4-speed bell housing be painted the engine color?

Most of it is. 

Itll be fogged with more engine color towards the front.

Bare steel towards the trans

With the pan on the bottom steel, or also painted?

Just not sure which parts were installed before painting from the factory.

Most bell housing were painted engine color and auto's were natural aluminum

Thanks Jon.

I knew that the automatics were aluminum.

Just wasn't absolutely sure about the manuals.

& I'll bet every manufacturer did it differently.

I can only speak for mopar. 

But the bellhsg and lower pan were on the engine when it was painted.
