to blast or not to blast

[Enrique Claure <span@datacom-bo.net>]

>Hello fellow MGers, My MGB=B4s engine is out and ready for a 99.99%=
 overhaul.
Before I do so, I will paint the engine with Maroon Red form Hirsch Auto. I
must first remove the original worn down paint. What should I use to do so:
1. Sand blast 2. Chemical Stripper 3. Stripper and Mechanical sanding?
Thanks for your advice, ENrique.
