Phosphates simply replace rust with a different layer of oxidation to
prevent rust oxidation. IMHO

I used Moss's Healey Green engine paint to paint my block and exterior
engine parts in 1999, and they are still in perfect condition. As with any
paint job, the durability depends on how clean the surface is before
painting. The engine paint requires no primer.
Before painting, I degreased the parts with engine degreaser and rinsed
well. For secondary degreasing and etching, I sprayed the bare block down
with phosphoric acid metal prep according to the bottle directions, rinsed
well, and blew it dry with compressed air.

Check out the Bill Hirsch paint web sight. Any cast iron blocks that are
free of oil and a flaky scale can be wire brushed and then painted with
their engine enamels. No primers necessary
on cast iron. That would be the block and heads on our engines. Steel
items should be primed.
I am a user and had good results with that process on my Healey engine.
Remember, not all
engine enamels are NOT equal. The Hirsch engine enamels encapsulate and
adhere to light surface rust very well.
Your on your own after you use the soda blast.
