Reverse Cooling patents

[Thomas Martin]

I have not had one to look closely at, but I have been told by many that the 55 and 56
Pontiac V8 (287 CID) was a reverse cooled engine.  They changed for 1957 with the
introduction of the 317 V8, and went to the conventional cooling system used up through
1981.

So if anyone would have patented it, Pontiac would have had first dibs, 45 years ago.

Is there anyone who can research this?
