What would you imagine the purpose of them doing that?Most were painted from the factory.
Everything that could be assembled ahead of time was. Then they just sprayed the whole thing. Even the exhaust manifolds got painted (and it just burnt off).What would you imagine the purpose of them doing that?

I guess what it boils down to is every time I put the motor together I was not quite as in a hurry as ma Mopar was.Yep. Speed. They painted the exhaust manifolds, and other crap to speed up assembly.
