Crusader antifreeze drains

My manual says the engine block on my Crusader 6.0mpi engine has two drains for the antifreeze. I can’t find them (yet) and would like to know if someone here can guide me. Or better yet, a picture. Have not been able to find an image of them anywhere. Thanks in advance.

There are probably more than two on the engine, but the two on the block should be located just above the oil pan flange and just behind the forward engine mounts.

Thanks. I will look for them. There are drains up higher, also, but couldn’t find those. This will help!

The higher drains typically aren't on the block. They'd be in the manifolds (1 each) and in the risers (1 each).
There are also drains on the input and output of the raw water pump and at the bottom of the oil/trans cooler (if you have the "U" shaped one), but those aren't antifreeze...just raw water.

Thanks. I have found the ones on the risers and manifolds, just wanted to completely drain the AF since I am replacing the exchanger and the oil and transmission coolers and all hoses.
