Well I’m finally getting around to painting my new block and I’m wondering if 500 degree engine enamel is enough for the job? OoOor does it need to be a higher temp paint?

Nope 500deg is plenty enough.

you wouldn't by any chance know how many coats i should throw on do you? or how many cans it will take?

I like the 'Kylon' brand engine paint. Lasts for years, not real expensive.
I would use 4-5 light coats on it and then see if you had the coverage you want.
BTW, they sell a great Ford Blue.
I get the stuff at Pep Boys......
