Simply put..if you take the time to rebuild you would usually want to take the extra effort to make it look cosmetically better...nothing looks worse than a block covered in surface rust...looks better and cleaner to work with. Also steel will aquire surface rust fairly quickly when uncoated and could cause contamination issues during reassembly.
I am powdercoating mine, awesome finish and it will never dull, chip, fade, etc. I always thought it would be a fortune to powdercoat a block, but I found a really good local shop that will do it for $200.
I wonder if you could get your block JET HOT coated. That would be sick.
or chromed.....now that would be sick.
Powdercoating does sound cool....
Does it retain heat ?
You can buy your own powder coating kit for a few hundred bucks.

JET HOT doesnt turn blue when it gets hot, then again maybe the block wont get hot enough to turn chrome blue.
What temperature does the metal of the block get to?
What temperature is required to turn chrome blue?
The only reason I wouldn't try powder coating the block at home is that I don't have an oven that large...
Otherwise, I would give it a try...
I don't see how powdercoating force heat retention, at least not any more than regular paint would.
