No. With block drained of coolant, running engine seemed likely to overheat head. I did crank (distributor center wire disconnected) for about 10 seconds a few times, to see if water pump would pull coolant out of expansion tank (it did not). I ran motor for another 15 seconds or so, to see if that would suck coolant in, but again, without success. Running motor for longer without coolant seemed unwise.
