I bought a universal hose fitting set it up to the oil pan and marked it with a colored pencil. Then I drilled it out, and made sure i got every single last piece of metal out.

the easiest way though...is to have a exhaust shop torch the hole out...then weld the piece you need back in, just make sure NOT to buy a brass fitting.

JB Weld has no place on a car, especially on an engine. Ghetto, ghetto, ghetto.
