Quick timing cover help (plugging top hole)

Hey guys I'm still putting my motor together and since I'm going with an EWP I need to plug the top hole in the timing cover but I wanted to see what you guys use. Absolute last resort would be welding. I was hoping to be able to just plug it up with a freeze plug or something similer, I would need an exact size too. If someone could help me out like pretty soon today that would be great. Opti, balancer, and water pump are waiting to go on but I need to plug the hole first. Thanks a bunch guys.

^^^ What he said, I just did this a few months ago. It's really difficult trying to find an 11/16 freezeplug.
