Painting 8.1 or any other LS engine?

So - I bought an 8.1 last month.

I want to clean it up a bit - paint it - but am not planning to rebuild it.

Any advice on how to clean up this motor without damaging sensors?

My neighbor has a sandblasting business, and I'm very tempted to use him - but don't want to leave sensors on block and get them blasted to heck. Any good ideas on sealing holes with sensors removed?

How do you guys prep these things for paint? Is it best to use a small 90 with the pads?
