79 SF Oil Pan

I am looking for an oil pan for a 79 SF. Picked up an engine, oil plug is stripped out. Thanks!!

There are thread re-placements that are not the typical heli coil, forget what they are called. Drill and tap the original and install these. May need to get a larger drain plug, I've not used these in this application so not 100% on use. I get them at Ace. Think I have a few extras I won't be needing, you will still need the tap and homemade install tool (big screwdriver), glad to send your way.

Hi Done,
Do you have a picture or link to this threaded insert of which you speak? I need to do my rear drain plug.
