plugging dipstick hole in the block

[bigmuddy]

Guys I picked up a new pan with the screw in dipstick for my 351w build. Problem is I have a block with the dipstick hole in the block..

How best can I plug the hole in the block and have little to now leakage going forward?

Can you tap the block or JB weld or?

I plugged the hole on my 89 5.0 block with a small metal plug (sorta like a freeze plug or a galley plug). The engine guy I use had a box of them and knew what size it was. I used a little "Right Stuff" on it and tapped it into the block.

Baby freeze plug. No goo. Reversible later if needed later.

The little "plugs" are available at most any parts store ----- got mine from Napa.
