Default Frost Plugs popped

Had the stang sitting all winter but had forgotten that I only had water in it ( DOH!)

So anyway, I was working on it today and got it running and went to put coolant in and noticed it was dumping the coolant all over the ground and no hoses were leaking. The rear frost plug on each side of the block popped out.

So are my chances good that I only popped the plugs and didn't crack the water jacket or anything? I'm hoping I can just pop some new plugs in there and be good to go. If it cracked a water jacket I'm beyond screwed.

Today sucks.
