Found a bad expansion plug (some call them welch or freeze plugs). Good idea to fix this one now while I have the suspension apart. Not tough but time consuming. I hope this video saves someone else time and money as there was not a lot of info out there on this one. The 389 has four large block plugs. Two on either side. (there are more as well under the bell-housing)
Two you must remove the exhaust manifold to get to.. So start soaking those bolts.
And periodically flush and drain at the engine drain plugs for a more efficient motor!
No need to pay big bucks for this once you discover the easy way (which took me an hour or so).. Edited somewhat but you get the idea..

Question for you, I see this was a year ago, but hoping you still are around, I'm looking at a 1966 Pontiac GTO Coupe 389 V8 to purchase but the present owner noticed that 2 frost plugs had pushed out. How long of a repair is that, and what is the approximate cost? I am in WA, it is in IN so if I buy it, I would fly out and take possession. I was planning on driving it back but if I have to get those fixed before I drive it back, that could be an issue, depending on how long it takes to perform the repair. It was a frame off restoration which has about 1200 miles on it after restore. Thanks in advance for any answers.

If the block is one with two large ones on either side then the issue is getting the exhaust manifold off to reach one of them or making it easy for both. So that's what you have to do and soak it well with some sort of penetrate (Kroil, etc) because you don't want those bolts to break!! If you have the correct tools to remove stuck plugs, clean and re-cap I'd say 4-6 hours if you are organized..

@@grillsandaxlegrease3578 I'm looking at a GTO on an auction, "You are bidding on a 1966 Pontiac GTO Coupe. 2421767132878. TITLE. This is a fully restored car that has been in storage. There are few miles on the restoration. It was in storage and not climate controlled. Upon removal, the brothers noticed that 2 frost plugs had pushed out." That's from the auction site. The current bid is $10,500, but the live bidding isn't until the 17th. It's about a 7hr drive away. It might end up going above what I can afford, but I'd like to drive it back instead of putting it on a trailer, but may have to do a trailer if it doesn't go up too high. I appreciate the info. I have a 65 impala SS which I still need to finish. Thanks
