trans color

I checked my transmission extension. It is like the bell housing, unpainted.

I was led to believe the '56 bell housing was aluminum because it was air cooled and the '57 were iron because they were liquid cooled. The '57 I'm working on has a mess of acid drippings and clear coat on an aluminum housing. I think I'll blast it and do further research. I can simply paint it black if it's supposed to be iron. If there is a functional difference, I don't see one.

I just remembered where I saw this. This late '57 has an aluminum bell housing when the parts book said it should be iron if it has a steel converter.
