Default What is the size of coolant drain plug on side of block ?

I'm in the process of building a 5.3L and can't seem to find anyone that sells the (big) brass plus that goes on the left (driver's side) near the back of the block. It's a lot bigger than the other drain plugs, but I've been able to find all of those. This one is difficult to find.

I think it's called the Coolant drain plug (but not sure).
What size is it ? (28 mm pipe thread, etc...)?

Can it be purchased anywhere aside from part of a complete kit?
Part #?


Thanks in advance for any help.
