Default Oil pan replacement.

hey whatsup guys, haven't been on in a while but i need help. I chipped the drain plug of my oil pan, so i have to replace it. I took out the whole engine and transmission because might as well do everything i need to do to it. But theres two things, 1. I cant find an oil pan for my car. Its a 96 v6 manual. 2. The oil pan is stuck..lol. I took off all 16 bolts with the engine outside of the car, and nothing. I dont know if it just needs a love tap to kinda un stick it, or if its connected to something else by a screw i have not seen. Appreciate the help ! thanks

you might have got it off already, but for those who might have the same issue for there cars, like me. get one of those hard plastic scrapers and point it, place it between the oil pan and the block or timing cover and tap it in. to seperate them. or way remove timing cover and push down. lol never use metal as it will chip or flake the oil pan or timing cover.
