When my engine was stripped I painted the block with silver paint and the head with black, I even sprayed the exhaust headers red which looked cool. Preparation is key any oil or rust patches will cause the paint to flake off. It is a real pic to do this with the engine still in the car as you have to spray around the pipes and wires. You can take off the rocker cover easily and spray that - this alone will make a big difference.
