Water Drain Plug in side of 440 block?

[Mike Gaines]

Help....I am getting ready to install a new set of heads...I know I have to drain the water out of the block. QUESTION...Does the block have "drain plugs" on the each side of the block to unscrew and drain the water out of the block...
With the headers and stuff in the way I just can't see down there to notice any drain plugs.

Let me know, for those of you who know the answer to this...Thanks

All mopar big blocks ive ever seen have drain plugs down low on the side of the block. You will have to crawl down under to get to them or see them. Use a good socket on them they are tight mothers.

Yes, both sides of the block next to the center freeze plug. Stock is normally a square head pipe plug. I always replace with petcock future convenience.
