Hi, am getting ready to rebuild the motor on my 65 Malibu. I guess I don't know what to do with the oil pan? Going to use POR-15 on the engine. How about the bell housing? Do any of you folks paint that too?
Thanks, John

Well John, if you're going for the original look the oil pan should be engine orange. The bellhousing has been quoted in here two ways - engine orange OR natural cast with some orange overspray. From a "straight looks" standpoint I like the orange on the bellhousing.
