Re: 69 621 Bellhousing Correct Finish
With my limited knowledge I believe that the bellhousing was bolted to the engine when the engine was painted. It received overspray but wasn't completely painted.

Re: 69 621 Bellhousing Correct Finish
For whats its worth, when my 68 Z28 was judged for Diamond, they deducted some points because there was no overspray on the bell housing.

Re: 69 621 Bellhousing Correct Finish
I honestly do not know small blocks but my understanding was that Tonawanda big blocks had many items installed when the engine was painted such as bellhousing, valve covers, exhaust manifolds, etc whereas the small block plants did not practice this. For that reason, I always thought the small block bellhousings would not have overspray.

Re: 69 621 Bellhousing Correct Finish
From JohnZ (John Hinckley) in a prior post on the CRG...
[ QUOTE ] The bellhousing was on the engine when it was painted; it will show varying levels of overspray on the forward 4"-6", or more, or less, depending on how the sprayer felt that day. [/ QUOTE ] Ed

Re: 69 621 Bellhousing Correct Finish
I went through the Diamond judging and my bellhousing was painted orange and they accepted it. I think that they will accept it natural with overspray also

Re: 69 621 Bellhousing Correct Finish
SB's were oversprayed as well, some a little, some a lot, but rarely (if ever) was the entire bell painted orange.

Re: 69 621 Bellhousing Correct Finish
I recently purchased a '621 bell housing that was originally
attached to its matching L/71 ( never separated ). This bell housing has a heavy overspray around the entire perimeter of the mounting surface, with the exception of the clutch fork area. This area was left alone. It even has the original yellow pencil inspection mark. I bought it mainly because it was as originally painted and time has changed overspray if you get my meaning. I always try to purchase originally painted componentry what I can, as long as I have a reasonable expectation that they are indeed original. Steve
