A friend of mine took a garden hose to an old ford I-6 with a brick on the gas pedal runnin WOT. It took 20 minutes at full bore to kill that motor.

I would think just running it WOT alone would kill an engine in 20 min.

Unfortuantly Ford I6's are hard to kill - they will run knocking forever. Most of the 250's and 292's GM's will do the same.

as far as the topic @ hand - I would "mist" the bottle over the carb - it will take longer as stated but you certainly won't Hydro-Lock the motor.

I'll buy you a 502 if you can kill your motor with a spray bottle with the RPMs up at 2 grand-ish.

That sound like a pretty sweet deal there. Might be worth a try.
