I would say you could use dynamat in the engine bay as it reflects heat away from the hood back to the engine as well as significantly reduces cabin noise and rattles... but its kinda expensive and kinda not what your looking for in this case.

Couldn't you kinda create a heat sink to block out cold air, keep the engine warm, but also prevent it from overheating? aluminum underpan perhaps?
