best way to winterize v6 without radiator installed?
Parts truck has no radiator. there is a flush T where heater thermostat control was & I see plain water there. should I try to pour some antifreeze in or go the other route and try to drain as much as I can? engine does run.

There's a drain plug on the engine block if you want to drain it. No idea how you would get coolant back in with no radiator though.
How does it run with no radiator? Seems like it would blow itself up. Or by running, do you mean it starts and then you immediately turn it off?

Is the reason you want to do this is because you think there is straight water in the block?
If so, don't forget about the heater core(s).
If you remove the thermostat that will get a lot of the water out of the block.
