I believe that hole lets some water circulate through the head before the thermostat opens. You will see in my attached image, although it is a newer 327 block, the hole matches with one that can be seen at the top of the block that feeds into the head. That is my guess anyway and it should be cleaned out for good circulation.
Hope this helps,
Bob J.
