Block Paint?

also get the brush paint on NOT the aerosol AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS EXACTLY---the surfaces must be absolutely clean or the paint will loosen up and peel off---Eastwood sells it think Grainger or McMaster Carr might also otherwise try an electrical motor rebuilding shop they might have it too-- Costs about $40-50 PER QUART

I have always used brush on Rustoleum. I have had blocks and heads that survived hot tanks.

I have been using oil based Rustoleum gloss enamel for 30+ years on a number of engines. Surface prep is the key. I like gloss white as it helps in quickly spotting anything in the oil - especially on the heads. And expect to lay on 4+ coats for a smooth glossy finish.
