Cab83, I have owned a few houses, etc., and have done some electrical work in past. I would not remove the 220 outlet from the range location, as the next owner may have an electric range(more common than gas for sure). Also, I strongly advise you adhere to the local or state electrical code, which insures your and your family's safety. If you need a new box you need a new box! Hire an electrician to install the box. The voltage from the street has the potential for well over 220v 200 amps. Don't forget that.
