The suspension pieces would be refinished the same.  Some inspection marks would be unique to certain engine sizes.  The trans mount should be black on a 318 car and not yellow.

The trans was just bare aluminum.(auto)  The only way to bring back a close to original finish is to bead blast the case before you rebuild it.  The tail shaft has a smoother finish that would probably be ruined by bead blasting.  I think soda would work for the tailshaft.(that's just a guess...I've never done it)

You can always just paint the trans with Eastwood AlumaBlast paint if you want.  It won't look correct but it may work for what you are doing.
