I was hoping someone could describe where the freeze plugs are located on a '65 289. I know that the plug above the starter (passenger side) is starting to leak, but it looks like theres a worse leak over by the motor mount. I hope there is a plug over there and I don't have a cracked block.

Thanks, Scott

its the same on the other side as well

Thanks a lot. That picture is great. So now that I know two of the freeze plugs on the passenger side are leaking how should I go about getting at them? The one above the starter I can get at from underneath the car, but what about the one behind the motormount? What would you do? Could I jack the engine up and support it to get at the other freeze plug behind the motor mount? I bought the rubber expandable freeze plugs so I don't need to be able to tap it into place.

your on the right track with supporting the motor with a jack and taking out that one motor mount. the rubber plugs will work great, just make sure the holes are as clean/smooth as possible. should last you years and years[8D]
