did you see the episode that stacy did on Trucks (spike tv show) wehre he was showing the ways to paint the block, you could do ratle can or with auto paint, you just treat the block the same way you would with the car, getting rid of all the pores and then real good cleaning then primering and sanding and the rest of the steps. he did it on a hemi motor if i remember corectly. he used same paint as he did on the hairy hauler
