Even my Willie has heard of a core plug - you have a problem.
I have spoken to Butch our mechanic, he tells me that core plugs often rust but electrolytic corrosion between the edge and the block can cause them to loosen and pop with cooling system content pressurisation.
As Greg confirms, Mini core plugs in steel will fit most Chrysler V8 but the best replacements are brass core plugs from the States fitted with a little RTV sealant (non acetic acid cure) around the edge.
Hope this helps,
