Stripping engine tin is a dirty time consuming job, I'd suggest taking it all to a machine shop to have it hot tanked, a good hot tank job will remove most or all of the paint, use paint stripper to remove any leftovers and soak them in Evaporust to remove any rust. Once everything is cleaned get it all dry as a bone and wrap them in bags, store in a clean dry climate controlled place and paint when the time comes. the factory didn't use primer and you don't need to either, if you prep the metal properly before paint it will hold up for a very long time just fine.
