Well, yes and no. Does the 'wind chill' effect humans only because of the moisture in the skin being evaporated? Or is it that we cannot warm the exterior of the body fast enough when the wind carries away the body heat.

A hot engine will certainly cool down faster because the engine is always in contact with air of the same temperature and the air that is warmed up by the engine is immediately carried away. After time, the engine will only get as cold as the air, no matter how windy.
