Why were the posts deleted?

Sorry for the detour there Chad. I hope you find a way to get the results you are looking for. The truck will be killer either way.:thumbsup:

It got way off topic and should have been taken to PM......

Now that we are back on track, I'm still looking for some more suggestions. Thanks.

Chad we have painted alot of motors haven't had one crack or peel yet. Your going to want the surfaces to be clean! And I mean clean no silicones, oils, water, etc. No depending on how smooth you want you can de-burr the casting marks, etc. If it's just a color you want. Apply a good etch primer, followed by a sealer, then color, clear / single stage.

Most paints and clears will take close to 500 degrees so unless your motor has an issue the paint will last. We use Spies/Hecker paints and clears fyi.
