Would help to know when you car was assembled just in case there are some changes present during the year. Migth want to add all your cars details in your signature since you will be asked this often here on the site.
Would send you to another thread but it shows a Shelby so too much do this not that so it would take away from the discussion. Basically you would have a completely assembled engine (with out PS) without the following installed. Note engine plate in place as well as flywheel
- Distributor, wires, coil, coil bracket, spark plug wires and spark plugs
- Dist hold down or bolt
- Water pump pulley/ End of water pump with a mask over where the pulley attached
- Crank pulley or balancer
- Fuel pump, lines or bolts. Only a cardboard formed mask over the mounting surface and hole
- Alternator, cast mounting bracket, mounting bolt or spacer
- Alternator adjustment bracket
- Engine lift hooks/brackets. They were painted by the supplier
- Air cleaner, snorkel, heat shield. All painted by supplier
- Carb and throttle bracket. Note: spacer is painted or has a faded application away from the intake
- Oil pressure sender-
- Breather cap or hose
- Don't recall at the moment the water temp sender but it wasn't painted
Masks placed over the heater and radiator hose connections. Mask over the ported vacuum switch if you car was so equipped if not the plug was in and painted.
Painting of the engine plate fades where the starter attaches to the plate to ensure a good ground. Want to mention that I have seen/found some later automatic equipped cars were the lower engine plate didn't have any paint on them suggesting IMHO the possibility that those were not in place at time of paint application.
Exhaust manifolds got a fair amount of paint from attempts to cover engine behind, below and around them. Burnt off or rusted off fairly quickly you can see fresh engines with glossy manifolds in the factory engine threads on the site.
