Default pinto sump damaged

hey im new here and i have a mk2 76 escort 1.6

i went and picked up a 2lt pinto just the other day and when i brought it home with my dad in his truck i used an engine crane and lifted it off. not realising my brother used it for somehting else, he shortened the front legs on it... : .. so i lifted the engine up, drove the truck out heard a huge bang and the crane base was vertical and the engine had hit the ground right on the sump/oil pan, so i immediatly took it off to see if it hit the crank or anything else and no everything is fine, it just has been impounded where the plug is, so that cannot be unscrewed, and the welds where the sumplug thread was welded in have snapped and oil leaked out.

so heres my questions anyway lol :

1 does anybody have a sump i could buy ?
2 will the 1600 sump fit the 2000?
3 should i try and bang it out?

thanks alot.
