Thanks everyone! For those curious, I took some measurements to determine how thick the plug was.
From the top of the oil sending hole to the plug was 7-13/16" (verified twice). From the main bearing hole to the other side of the plug was 1-23/64". The total height from the top of the oil sending hole to the opening of the hole on the main bearing cap was 9-3/4" exactly. If my math is right, that gives me a a plug thickness of over half an inch. More like a slug I'd say. I'll do Rusty's pressure check and, since this is a nearly stock/daily driver engine, call it good if it checks out.
