Default Freeze plug location

Are there any on the block that would pop out if water was to freeze over? The four on the two heads have popped out on a customer envoy Denali. Are there any on the block as well? That would pop? And what are the locations?

No press in freeze plugs on the block. Large Allen head plug on drivers side block is into water, as is another smaller Allen headed plug on opposite side I believe.

The oil was a bit thin and dropping off of the dip stick. No water in the oil though. I'm guessing because it had over heated and thinned the oil. I got it fixed. Turned out the new thermostat we put in a couple of weeks ago before the big freeze had messed it from it I'm guessing. I put on new freeze plugs on the heads and changed the thermostat and radiator and the customer says it's running good so I got them out of my hair for now lol. I advised the customer to get their oil changed though.
