Default Removing Engine Paint for New Paint

I haven't used paint remover since 1970 when I used a gel to remove layers of paint. I don't recall the brand, and don't recall how I cleaned up the mess it made. I'm wondering if oven cleaner will do a job on this engine, or do I need something better to remove the paint. I'd also like to remove the rust without sandblasting it, as I won't be taking the engine apart. It runs great, but I'd like to paint it the right color.

I'm still wondering about the black painted area. I hope that isn't red paint that turned black from a bad overheat.
