Default Block Heater Installation

I own a 2005 dodge ram with a 5.7L Hemi. I am needing to install a block heater, but I dont know how or the location of the freeze plug. Does anyone know how or have pics to help out?

I had a DEFA block heater installed in my truck (03 hemi). There is no freeze plug, there is a hole in the engine block you put the blockheater in. It is done in 30 minutes. see http://www.defa.com/doc/800/2840.pdf

Thank you. I took a look under my truck and it looks like it will take me longer than 30 minutes. I noticed there isn't a lot of room to work. I couldn't see the location because of the starter being in the way so I'm not sure if there is a stock heater already installed. I guess I'll figure that out after I swing the starter down. Once again, thanks.
