I have a freeze plug that looks like it is right behind where the suspension connects to the block. Has anyone heard of this and how did they put the plug in?

you will have to loosen the motor mount on that side and take the bolt out and jack the engine up to give you room to change it.

While I am not specifically familiar with your 1971 Mustang, the expansion / freeze plugs are installed when the engine is assembled, before it is installed into the chassis.

that plug MUST be installed while the engine is removed from the car.
