if youre gonna rebuild it, take it to a local outa the way machine shop and have it hot tanked, other wise use a wire brush, and degreaser, and a 55-gal drum of elbow grease.

How much does it usually cost to hot tank ?

I wouldn't mess around trying to get it to look amazing unless you're going to get a rebuild which (usually) includes hot tanking. I've seen people use chemicals, power sprayers, etc. Don't bother. Oh, it will look great right after you paint it, but just wait until it's driven a few months! There's nothing worse than seeing blistering paint reveal old paint.
