Wanted: image of rear of AMC 360 showing freeze plugs (coolant leak)

Does anyone know of an online image showing the rear of the AMC
360 block showing the location of the freeze plugs?

I have a project Grand Wagoneer that runs smoothly, but spews
coolant from the rear of the engine just above the oil pan. I
believe it's most likely that a freeze plug has rusted through.
The leak is so severe that the radiator can't be filled.

Before I decide whether it would be easier to raise the engine or
drop the transmission to access the source of the leak it would
be helpful to be able to visualize the area in question.
Thoughts or other suggestions would also be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Frank

They are not hard to find or small. If you cannpt see up in there you
can feel up there. You should be able to see up in there fine if you
just get under it with a light. I put a block heater in a AMC 360 in a
Jeep truck many years ago (you remove a freeze plug) and I did not
have to raise engine up to do it.

You'll have to pull the tranny, remove the flywheel or flex plate and
replace the casting plugs which are cleverly hidden behind the flywheel
or flex plate.

An alternative is to pull the engine, replace ALL the plugs and, while
it's out, do a total rebuild if you think it might need it.

When one cast plug has failed due to corrosion, normally the rest are
due to follow.

With that in mind, I recommend pulling the engine and doing all of them
at once. There are three or four back there and ones in the sides.

Send it to me, and I'll link it:
