Any engine enamel will be fine mate or a high temp primer and then any base coat.

block doesn't actually get that hot that unless you run out of oil or water. 120 will be fine if you want to over kill go for the high temp enamel but you will be fine with any normal base coat over the top of some high temp primer.
