Simple test - Next Jan-Feb when it is below zero some place
north of you -
start off from your home (in the sunny South?) and drive north
and never
shut down the engine until you are into the really cold weather -
keep an
eye on your temp gage! It will eventually boil in the block
while your
radiator is clogged with ice.

I still have the company
van :-)
Seriously, I can see a
lot more potential for this in a car, since you're not producing any real power
going down the highway, and you're using the heater core to remove as much heat
as possible to keep you toasty warm. In my plane, with a mechanical, and
EWP, no thermostat, and running 75% power, I still seriously doubt the radiator
could freeze.
