weird plugs on 400 block

just got home with my 400...

noticed 2 "plugs" on the block. one is down under the #1 spark plug, just in front of the lower engine mount hole and up a little. the other is behind and up a little from the engine mount hole that's under the #8 plug. they look about like 1/4" npt pipe plugs with hex sockets (allen-head)...

anybody know what these are - like if i unscrewed them, would it be oil or coolant that came out? or...?
