Default Core (freeze) Plug

I got a problem with one of the core plugs, its is located on the lower left side of the engine block. It is positioned right in front of a motor mount convieniently[:@] , so removing it is gonna be a problem, I dont know how to remove it exactly or if what im suppose to do to get some clearance with the motor mount being right in front of it. I was thinking of lowering or raising the engine a little bit, but i dont know which motor mounts am I suppose to losen, and if tranny mounts will need to be losend to. So if anyone has had some experience with this or just wants to help please feel free. thanks fellow mustang owners.

Those require good clear access to R&R, not sure you can get that in the engine bay.
Good luck

You should get more motion and less chance of damage by letting the tranny float too. Just don't let everything flop to one side...
