Hey yall, I'm rebuilding a 289 I tore down a long time ago, and there's this hole on the side of the block that looks like it may go straight into the coolant passages. But I can't for the life of me find out what goes there and where it runs to. I've got a picture of what it looked like when tearing down, and it looks like there was some sort of barb fitting in there, but I don't know where it runs to or what it does. I know I don't have much info to give, but any help is really appreciated!

You didn't mention what it is out of but I'm going to guess that it's the supply hose for the heater core.
I've worked on a bunch of 289s in my early days, swapped a bunch into cars, trucks and don't remember any coolant nipples on the front or rear of any 289 block, need a better pic.
Do you remember what it's out of?

Is that just one of these (cannot think of what they are called)?
Only asking as I have the ground bolted in that area of the block on both of my cars. Without a better picture its just a guess.

I could not see the pic very well and when the General said it was a coolant nipple I figured the worse..Is that just one of these (cannot think of what they are called)?

If its a stud, like in the pic above, for grounding purposes, a great place to ground the block to the firewall in my opinion...
