Default Freeze plug diameter/depth/specification?

I know when one failed, we had to dig through a bunch of drawers at O'R to find a match. Does anybody have a better AZ/NAPA lookup number or something of the sorts for a 3.9 (Or 5.2/318 equiv/cross ref)?

Radiator cap housing broke, and found a few surprises along the way. Upper thermostat housing is completely rotted apart and piled in above the thermostat, and as I expected (since i already had one plug fail), the freeze plugs look sketchy at best.

Going to do the other 3 freeze plugs and upper Thermo housing when I install the meth injection, trans cooler, and torque converter. Mocked the trans cooler in during my lunch break, fits perfect between the rear crossmember and the evap box's mount- 3 of the cooler's 4 mounting holes are on drillable material. Just have to space it up off the crossmember. I just have it balancing on the crossmember for pics to show the amount of room hiding there. It has a 650CFM 10" fan and is basically two 8-row coolers stacked with the lines interweaved. Came with 160/180 thermostat, hose, wiring, basically everything (A big kit). I'm probably going to mount the methanol pump right next to it, maybe even on the same bracketry.
