Default Draining coolant from the block

Hey all


I want to get coolant out of my radiator, and my block… Was hoping to capture all I drain, so I can reuse it, as it’s relatively new. I need to get below the thermostat housing, which I’m assuming is at the end of the neck that connects to the lower radiator hose. Is there a petcock on the block?

Yes. Look up and past the RH axle you'll see it. There is also one to the right of the oil filter.

Perfect, thanks! That lower radiator hose neck is the thermostat housing right?
