We're restoring a '66 F100 with a 352 and three speed manual. I have painted the engine Ford Dark Blue and the transmission a cast iron color. I'm not sure what color the bellhousing is suppose to be though since the engine had been swapped for a 302 at some point and I didn't have the original one to go by.

Also, were the engine/bellhousing/trans painted together or separately? On the '65 Chevy C10 I restored they were painted together with no masking and the bellhousing had an overspray pattern that I replicated. We're trying to put the truck back just like the factory would have painted it so any info is appreciated!


Engine painted:




Cast iron color trans:




The Chevy bellhousing that had overspray.

 

Tomorrow I can post a picture of the original bell housing on a 66 352 4 speed if that will help. Light blue.

 

Here is the 4 speed bell housing.... 1966 F250 352 still dirty.

 

Thanks a ton, that'll let me get it painted the right color and installed on the engine!

 

Just repainted mine. It had blue engine paint on it from factory, so I replicated.
