frost/freeze plugs 2003 4.7l
i have a 2003 durango with 246000 miles thats got a 4.7l and awd that sat through two winters in minnesota with just water in it and it seems to have pushed out two frost plugs one on each side of the motor (3rd one from the front each side) i am planning on attempting to pound in two new ones into the empty holes but i was wondering if anyone had a diagram of the block because the new kit has 10 plugs and i only seen 8 (maybe 6) i dont want to have to pull the motor any advice or information would be appreciated ---- also forgot to add if i cant get them in my plan is to weld a plate or similar sized plug into the hole and would like to know if pre heating the cast iron will ruin the block

There are a couple on the back of the block as well.
I would do a VERY careful inspection of that motor before doing ANY work to it. It gets friggin' cold in Minnesota.... and if the freeze plugs got pushed out, I would not be at all surprised to find that the block was cracked as well.
