I now one guy whose 5.0 pan just rotted out. Don't no if this is something that happens a lot or not. If you are putting a new motor in try the marine stuff. Make sure you drain oil and clean oil pan, sand to rough up area to fix. And then clean again so you get a good bond. Give patch time to cure before adding oil back in pan. I would watch for leaks then.
