freeze plug and some RTV. you could be really lazy and use a quarter.

I tack-welded a quarter then covered it with JB Weld .

There is no pressure there, so pretty much anything will work.

in the block the water pump drive, the splined shaft that runs off the cam gear

the hole in the block you can leave open. we thought you were referring to the hole in the timing cover.
