Big no no... Antifreeze is the most basic form of keeping your engine cool. Without it, engine temperatures will rise way to high, and you will run the risk of cracking very important engine parts, such as the block. Fill'er up!

Can water affect car heating?
Water boils hotter and faster then antifreeze, more water means engine damage.
How much antifreeze is in a 5.2 liter engine?
it varies by car to car
Will a thermostat cause the car to overheat?
Thermostats determine when antifreeze enters the main cooling system. If the thermostat isn't working correctly, the antifreeze could enter the engine to late, (or not at all) resulting in an over heating engine. Another problem of having antifreeze enter the engine late, is that if your engine is very hot, possibly a little warmer than common, when the antifreeze enters the engine, the cold fluid could cause the engine block to cool down quickly, causing a cracked engine block.
What does it mean if your car is leaking antifreeze from under the hood?
It means if you continue to drive it you risk the chance of doing severe damage to the engine. Have a mechanic check it now.

Will a small amount of water in 454 engine oil damage the engine?
Yes, even a small amount of water will damage any engine. Water is not a lubricant and as such it will cause damage when mixed with the oil. How much depends on how much water and how long you drove the car in this condition. Antifreeze is even worse than plain water.

Do you need antifreeze to drive your car?
No, but antifreeze has corrosion inhibitors in it's formula. These help to stop corrosion forming internally, and will also protect the head gasket from corroding. Antifreeze added to the water in your cooling system lowers the freezing point of the coolant, preventing the liquid from freezing in the cold winter. It also raises the boiling point of the coolant. If you drive your car with water and no antifreeze, your car will heat up and the water will get hot enough to boil over. With antifreeze, the coolant will continue to do its job of keeping the engine from overheating which can result in damage to the engine.
