Running engine with no coolant

I want to test the engine in my parts car before I pull it. The car was in a front end collision which completely destroyed the radiator. My question is, is it safe to run the engine for, say, 15 seconds with no coolant at all in it? Or would it work to just run cold water from a garden hose into the water inlet? Any suggestions?

Thanks
Mike
