I've found the rattle can engine paints to be pretty durable. Domestic
engines appear to be painted when they're all together.
If you want your restoration to be accurate you'll need to make sure you
include a couple of poorly sealed valve cover gaskets so the entire
outside of the engine is quickly covered in oil, and then road dirt will
take care of the rest of the authentic finish and patina.

oops, one more question, should it be painted while apart, or can great
results still be attained after it is fully assembled but masking off
the engine?
