62 engine paint question.....?

Were the engines painted after the front yoke and water pump was installed, or before. So the yoke would be orange right?

The front motormount bracket/yoke and the water pump were in place when the engine was painted.

Nope. The PRODUCTION motormount bracket was received and installed raw at Flint V-8 (they didn't have a prime paint system); the motormount brackets provided to SERVICE were dip-primed black by the supplier or by GM Parts Division so they didn't rust in warehouse storage.
