So long story short, I have a 350 and the freeze plug under the drivers side motor mount has popped out and I need to get it back in. How do I do this and will I have to pull the motor?

Use something to lift the and hold the engine in place, remove the motor mount, since you said the old one is already out, use a large socket and extension to pop a new one back in.
It can be a bit tricky, but can be done. I assisted in replacing one like this on my truck a few years back.

lift that side of the motor remove mount.use a freeze plug driver.
drive a brass freeze plug in.or put a rubber one in.
if its rusted out the others will be going soon.
here`s a link to snap on`s driver.
a lot of knock off ones are out there.i have seen them for $40 for the set.
