Re: pulling motor?/block drain bolt
On my v8 small block I have one plug on each side of the block.
It can be used by a temp sensor, if you unscrew those plugs most of the fluid will be gone.

Re: pulling motor?/block drain bolt
yep, and on putting it back together, you can actually install a petcock to where you can drain it when ever you are doing a drain/flush of the cooling system.
if you remove the plug/bolt and nothing somes out, poke the hole with a small screwdriver. |

Re: pulling motor?/block drain bolt
Then i wouldn't worry about it, unless you plan on standing the motor on end.
