I wouldn't think Flint would know what transmission would be used so I would say no - others probably know more about it.

The bellhousings were painted so they must have been painted with the engine at Flint.

They did. That's one reason why engines have different codes for manual transmission vs automatic transmission.

All of the engines I can see in the photo have auto trans flywheels so they would have no bellhousing.
