you can but it will wreck it! salt will destroy your water pump and probably make all your freeze plugs rust out in a matter of weeks! salt is very corrosive and will cause lots of damage. If your looking at keeping water from freezing in your engine or radiator stick with coolant. You can run a stronger mixture of coolant that will stand up to the cold better but it doesnt cool as well or vice versa.
