Yep, it can be done. Did it on the center one on the passenger's side on a 351W. But I had to remove the engine mount to get to it.

I highly recommend the brass plugs as those I've used are deeper than the shallow steel ones. The extra depth causes the plough to align to the hole better and that reduces the chance for a leak.
