Which freeze plug is the best to pull to use a aftermarket block heater?

Why do you want a block heater?

For in car installation I think the front drivers side plug is about the only option.

Cold winters here would be nice to get in a warm car in 5 mins over 15-20mins. Cold as in lower than 20 degrees

Yeah, whichever one you have the best access to...

ive installed a few but how do you remove the old ones?

Screwdriver through it, pry it out. Drain the coolant out first...

sounds easy enough

Just FYI but I tried three different heater plugs and toggle bolts and they all had catastrophic blow outs causing total coolant loss.

Thanks for the info maybe i wont try this, dont need stranded

But I've never had issues before on other vehicles, and plan to reinstall a new one. Continueing within the thread, I found one of my ports in the front head to be sevearly blocked, and might have created excessive pressure resulting in the blow out.
