[Tigers] engine painting

[Peter Laurinaitis]

i found a local shop (olsen engines in nyack, ny) to rebuild my 260 (est at 25-30 hrs labor at $85 plus $1000-1500 in parts) ... but he doesnt paint the engine ... or at most will strip/clean/degrease and rattle can spray it ... what are folks recommendations on painting the block and pan (old ford dark blue from BON), rattle can spray?, professionally applied epoxy? other? baked on finish? i want something durable and that looks good.  going for a full restoration so want to do it right.

thanks
peter
