I'm using a zinc anode plug in the block to counteract that problem.

I must counter.
While I realize what you are doing is well and good intentioned, it is always best to use brass freeze plugs wherever they are on a rebuild.
The only steel or zinc-coated plug that should be on the engine is the cam plug.

No corrosion at all, ever.

Have you ever had to change a freeze plug without going through a lot of headache?
