Case cleaning problem!

Great books Wayne! They have arrived! Keep up the good work!
I've just bought a basket case 911 engine, and a previous owner has painted the case ('65) and heads (2.2,..) red.
I know I can bead blast the heads but don't really want to blast the case.
Vapor blasting?
Paint stripper?
Cold tank?
Any ideas on how to remove it?
I'm a bit wary about dipping the case into a tank of chemicals! What's safe?
What about blocking up all the passages and then blasting?
Besides mental health problems what could be the reason for painting them. Heat retention doesn't seem sensible to me in a 911 engine...
