Besides the engine assembled before painting, the transmissions were also 
attached. When I rebuild the 232 in my American, the bellhousing had over 
spray on it and it wasn't painted behind the flywheel. Tom Benvie and Larry 
Daum supplied a lot of information on painting 199 and 232 inline sixes a 
few years ago. I put a page together with that information at 
http://www.mattsoldcars.com/RestoreAmerican/inline6painting.shtml.  I'm not 
sure how much of it applies directly to the 195.6's but if nothing else, it 
may assist in forensic work if your engine hasn't been rebuilt before.
