I can't see the reason for anything fancy, but one trick the old cat-skinners used if there was a crack in the block was to put diesel rather than water in the radiator. A bit of diesel leaking into the cylinders or the crankcase was no big deal, compared to water or antifreeze. Of course diesel doesn't freeze either. Not theoretically as much heat capacity as water, but those machines had huge radiators and strong water pumps anyway.
