On a factory monochrome approach you can fully assemble, minus the carb, distributor, coil, wiring, etc, and shoot everything at once. The down side is that all of your gasket edges are going to get painted, too, which I would not like (unless the engine is black like mine). One approach could be to set the intake, valve covers, & oil pan in place and finger tighten the bolts. Then paint, let it dry thoroughly and then dis-assemble/re-assemble those parts with gaskets. Problem is you'll likely scar up the bolts torquing them, and will have to go back with a touch-up brush.
