    what color should a 69 turbo 400 have been from the factory? I thought everything engine/tranny were both red?
    Thanks

    In Chicago most of the tranny's are.... never mind about that! :eek:

    My 1970 4 speed bell housing had red overspray but not painted. I think the judges would appreciate climbing underneath with a mirror and flashlight and seeing a smoothed cast aluminum and polished trans. JUDGES??? ws
