I pretty much have everything down packed, I've been reading up on this swap for 2 years now, I have like 40 book marks of everything needed to do the swap, and I'm also an ASE certified mechanic, also have my Pennsylvania emissions and safety inspection license. Hopefully the motor will be in tomorrow, kez if you readin this you should come through tomorrow if you want to see what's involved and lend a hand, ill pay you in alchol if you would like.

looks like the coolant drain plug for the engine block. Nothing you need to worry about, just make sure it's sealed

Agreed with Stick3, pretty sure it just needs to be sealed

It doesn't need to be seal , that bolt on the top is a 14mm if you loosen it up all the coolant that's in the block will come out through that nipple.
So as long as the bolt it tight you are fine. So drain the block and get all the old dirty coolant out before you fill up the sustem with new coolant.

I know this is a stupid question, but shouldn't all blocks have that feature?
