Oil pan needed for 360

Hello everyone:
Does anyone have a good V8 oil pan that they can part with? The pan
on my 360 Matador took a major rock hit at some point in time. When
I got the car on a hoist after hauling it home, I discovered the
damage which was poorly repaired by brazing. The impact was so
severe that the pan was partly crushed and the bottom four inches of
the Torqueflite bell housing was broken off - exposing the ring gear.
The engine leaks a lot of oil when parked which makes me think that
not only is the pan leaking but it is probably distorted at the rear
main seal area which allows oil to leak out into the broken bell
housing then onto the ground when parked. Engine and tranny both
work very well however.
I can repair the bell housing by grafting on the bottom cut off a
junk tranny but I don't think that the pan is worth the trouble of
repairing it some more.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions,
John
