You drill out the internal "Hex" that's used to install/remove the plug and then Tap it.
Then you need to grind the outer (round) plug into IIRC a 17mm so it can be reinstalled into the block.
Had a friend with a machine shop do it for me and it's installed in my 86.5 "onion" car, front most hole.

How many block plugs do you need, Jake? I should have 2 here somewhere from the motor that the Zombie ate...

Interesting- never noticed the manufacturer's stamp (ARCO) on these. Am seeing if I can Google this manufacturer:

That would be an epic waste of time and gas, will pop them in the mail in the AM.
