sacrificial anodes, usually zinc.  marine guys know all about
sacrificial anode systems!  talk to a powerboat yard that does repair
or construction.

another thought - wrap the nipple threads in teflon tape to try and
insulate the iron from the aluminum manifold.

ps. that web site talks about rust protection - which doesn't work -
and doesn't mention cooling systems.
