Question Drain Plug on Block

I was going to flush my coolant on my V-10. The dealer said they will do it and can do a better job than I can because they drain the block as well.

Does anyone have any idea where this plug is located? I had planned to just drain the radiator, but if the block needs it I would like to get it as well.

Thanks for any help.

Drain Plug on Block

Yea, you can drain the block just below the freeze plug on the driver side toward the back of the block. Its where most guys put a water temp <a href="http://motorhaven.autoanything.com/">sending unit</a>. If you drain from there you will drain about 5 gallons of coolant out. Check out my gallery on the guage installation to see where I put my water temp probe. That's where you can drain it from.
