The trans bell housing and engine were what color for a September 19, 1968 Metuchen 428 Mach 1 ? Thanks Brian

FYI regardless of assembly plant the FE engines were painted at the Dearborn engine plant. With that said the bare cast iron bellhousing was bolted to the engine block before painting of the engine block. There is typically about a inch of heavy paint fading out to nothing after about 5 or 6 inches . It varied .There could be a little more or a little less depending on the person that was holding the gun. I have not observed any paint on the clutch inspection cover which seems to indicate it was added after.
Brian Conway:
OK so Ford Blue on the block. Bell housing Ford Blue along the mounting perimeter. Inspection cover natural. The transmission ?

Brian, the transmission wasn't painted . It would be bare natural metal finishes.

Changed the title so it reflected the engine and transmission the OP was discussing ;)
