I have a 67 C10 with an LS swap....It is the LQ9 iron block.

Long story behind everything, so short story is I have been working on the truck, and it currently doesn't have a radiator in it.

I need to move the truck out of my garage, and onto a trailer to transport it to its new home. Is it safe to run the engine that long without coolant? I'm guessing no more than 5 minutes of running time.

Thanks!
