the radiator for example is isolated from the chassis(the stock radiator is mounted on rubber isolators, most aftermarket radiators are solidly mounted) so that the engine acts as the anode. you could reverse this but the radiator will look like swiss cheese in no time if the electrolyte levels rise enough.

so if you want the least material breakdown in the engine you could install an anode into the engine and ground the radiator, if you don't mind possibly needing to replace it.
