when you blast it, use aluminum oxide, and when you take the part out of the oven, use gloves(nitrile etc) so you don't contaminate it with oil before you coat it. just make sure you blow the dust off after you take it from the blast cabinet. i have a set of headers with that on it on a weld, but never tried it. i'm sure you could let it air dry then bolt it on and run it to make it cook on.
