The threads and port style are different. The new plug I found is a -8 with o-ring seal rather than a -6 with washer. We would need the pan back here to retrofit it, which would involve building up a bead of weld around the existing oil plug port, and then re-machining that area of the pan.
I do have -6 plug of the exact same style now too, but I would still need the pan here to ream the o-ring contour into the pan since the existing port would not accept an oring.
