There is a drain plug on both sides of the block.

There likely isn't any reason that it couldn't be put above the starter if it would fit and it probably would be easier than pulling the exhaust manifold which is what you will probably have to do (especially if 4wd).
I wasn't arguing I was making a statement saying you were right. notice the exclamation point not a question mark.

I was clarifying for the OP. My response was not directed at you. One nice feature of our old forum software was the tag on posts that listed who you were replying to...
