I am asking about the car in my signature. Maybe I?m not good at searching, but I wasn?t finding much of an answer to my question.

  428 bellhousing was attached to the engine when it was painted so there is overspray.

Changed the title to a title rather than a longer question and added your question to your original post  ;)

Want to also mention or remind those that will read this thread that we're discussing bell housings on manual transmission equipped cars just to keep the confusion down a bit.
