HHHmmmm...... best engine paint jobs I've seen start with a good coat of etching primer on a prefectly clean and dry surface, followed by 2-3 coats of Chevy Orange engine enamel. I've seen a few nice jobs done with a basecoat/clearcoat urethane... a virtually indestructible paint job, but that can get pretty expensive.
The etching primer reduces the potential of the paint peeling after a few hundred thermo-cycles.

Who's going to do your machine work on the block/heads/crank? Make sure they're top-notch! There's a lot of hacks out there.
