Engine Paint

I'm rebuilding a 440 Chrysler for a 1970 Coronet R/T. I had the block hot tanked but there was a fair amount of paint still on it when I got it back so I removed almost all of it with a wire wheel on a drill. I would like to paint it so it looks great but it will be run around so I also want it to be durable and withstand heat, oil etc. What is the best way to prep and paint it?

Also is it better to spray from a can or brush the paint on?

Thanks.

Spray it right on.. Do a few coats after each separate coat has been baked

I've used VHT epoxy engine (spray) paint with good results. Never heard of anyone brush painting an engine.
