one more thing, this engine has been out of the car before, not sure if it was a swap. I did find another freeze plug in the water jacket just now and got it out. Its a common, but not ethical practice to just punch them in and leave them in there. I bet the first one started leaking, it doesnt look rusted through, but the first one caused a buildup of crap and thats probably what kept the rust inhibitors away from the newest plug and caused it to rot. Not sure if the motor was pulled because of this or what, but its obvious it was pulled, as the re is a few things not properly bolted dont, like one of the coolant lines gets braced to one of the tranny to engine bolts, and it wasnt connected, one of the torque convertor to flexplate bolts was loose. Getting her all put back together properly. This is a prime example of why I dont like working on cars. Disaster lies in one little thing going wrong (this stupid hole leaking). It's why I never overhauled an engine. I would rebuild my tractor engine tho (p/s job and replacing mains bearings if crank was in spec), seems pretty straightfoward for the most part.
