Not sure how large of a job it is. I will be helping member replace his OP gasket on Wednesday.
Used stock oil pans should be plentyful. Check your pick up tube and strainer closely.
 
Got a new oil pan, gasket, and pickup tube on the way. As far as getting the old one out goes, what will I need to do? Looks like it drops straight down with no rope gaskets on the crank or anything like that. Will I need to take anything else apart to get the pan off?
 
It is doable without pulling the engine, but complicated.

Do a search on oil pan gasket.

You may be able to leave the trans bolted to the engine, just pull the rear transmission mount and drive shaft, and use a jack to lower it, and another to lift the front of the engine at the crank pulley. You may have to loosen the motor mounts to get more clearance from the axle.

I've done one inframe oil pan. Small hands and the right tools to unbolt/re install the oil pickup tube.
