Jack:
This is strictly an IMHO, but I wouldn't use this stuff on a block.
For one thing, you would be making pretty much an irreversible decision
on your color choice, and the block will possibly outlive the subjectivity of
that decision. Secondly, common sense indicates to me
that the POR-15 will retain more heat than an engine enamel; nor will you
enjoy the process of putting it on.
If you do your surface prep correctly, use a good engine enamel, and keep it
clean,
you'll be happy w/it for many days.
