Only one, Replace it. And if one is leaking the rest are not far behind so might as well do them all.

Re: Leaking freeze plug
And if you do all of them, you'll be taking the exhaust manifold off.. No way around it. And since that particular one is at one of, or at THE lowest place in the block, that's where all the good stuff collects that should be removed.

Red River Parts, the part # is 8754412 they were $3.95 ea. the phone # is, 903-547-2226
Also available at O-Reilly's. Don't recall the exact size at the moment but they're an interference fit so you absolutely cannot fudge on the size.

Okay, thanks TJ.
Red River does not have any. Hopefully TNJ does.

If you can't find them in the US, they are available in Germany (and probably other countries too) https://kemper-parts.com/en/ford-mutt-m151/engine/

Re: Leaking freeze plug
Go to the -20P. I believe that may give you the exact description of the part, size-wise. I re-read my old post and at that time I wrote that I used a
2-9/16" ("expansion plug" is the correct term) but for some reason that just doesn't sound right to me now. Perhaps someone would care to confirm.
O'Reilly's may be your best bet. They are not uncommon.

Re: Leaking freeze plug
You should be able to measure one and tell them what size you need. Better yet, take one with you.

Re: Leaking freeze plug
There are two different sizes needed if I recall correctly.

Re: Leaking freeze plug
Yeah, 2-9/64" sounds much better!

Re: Leaking freeze plug
The 4 in the block are the same size, the one in the back of the head is smaller.
