![]() I had some walnut shells under the blasting cabinet and that took most of the oxidation off. I might try the wire brush to smooth it out a little more...and I like the powder coating idea.
What have you guys done to refinish the bell housing? Thanks! Todd

![]() Since the bell housings were not coated originally, I use a paint that looks like fresh cast iron. 'Cast Blast' is one name I can recall, or you can put a heavy coat of flattened clear on it after it has been well cleaned.

![]() I powder coated mine over a year ago. Still looks great.

![]() Someone put a mid-60's FMX trans in a 1960 I had. I swapped back to the original Cruise-o-matic. Fortunately, they had retained the original bellhousing and flywheel. The only part I had to replace was the slip yoke which was a different diameter. Otherwise the FMX bolted right in using the original mount and hardware.
