Reverse flow is only applicable to the '92-97 Corvette (and '94-96 B/D-Body) LT1 engine. On these motors, the WP was driven from the cam, and it pushed water through the heads first. It's actually a neat system. There are lots of details online about this, one link being:

Though now that I think about it, I'm not sure it matters which side head you put the temp sensor on.
