Chris,
If you look on the passenger side of the engine (assuming left hand drive)
about halfway down the block and a few inches in front of the transmission you
will find a 3/4" brass colored bolt. If you remove this it should drain the
block. Having said that , one of my engines did not drain even when this was
removed. I even tried to clean it out to let the water out, no help. That
engine however was scrapped anyway for other reasons. My other two drain just
fine. Good luck.
