All the freeze plugs are smooth unless you have a Boss 302 block
which has threaded freeze plugs.
There is a small threaded plug in that area. I believe it is a coolant
drain plug.
It should have a hex end on it so you can tighten it or maybe it needs some
sealant too.
Should be a 1/4" pipe thread but I'm not sure and I don't see a listing or a
part number for it.
That plug is shown in the Shop Manual; Section A, page 3, Fig 1.

Subject: [Tigers] Help!
The machine shop is not answering his phone so I am turning to all of you
for some help. I'm getting ready (or was) to fire up the 289. I pressured
up the oil - no leaks. Started to fill the cooling system and had a leak
out of the block. It is on the drivers side, rear third. It is small and
feels threaded. Can anyone tell me if it is a freeze plug or a threaded
hole. And if threaded, what size it is?
Thanks.
