This is an 360 oil pan i have been saving for another 360 build,as you can see it has a hole worth fixing,my fear is another 1 will pop and leak the pan is not to rusty,has anyone had worse and fix it.
Yes Jb would be a cheep fix.If you have an emotional attachement to it, I would clean/strip it, repair the hole with JB Weld, then coat the inside with fuel tank sealer..
I like your answer mig welder you say.Less than five minutes with a mig welder and it will be fixed forever.
No I dont have another 1 going to price an aftermarket 1 soon.In the picture it appears as though there are a number of other deep rust pits. Your concern about another hole popping up is understandable. I'd swap it out for a different pan if you've got another one.
TA THE TRUE i know the horror I have had,but sometimes the china man stuff works or i am just blind.Yeah a new total piece of chinkesium pan that may or may not fit.
Well said, I trust your knowledge on metal for sure.Snake, in looking at that bubbling elsewhere, I'd bet that pan will be a minefield of pitting under your paint. If you put one hand inside and the other outside and run your fingers over the same areas and the metal feels thin, it may be too rusted to weld well. It could blow five holes around the one you're trying to fix.
Once you get it stripped, washed and dried, you could also skim the whole bottom in JB Weld. Just apply it thinly and let it set up for awhile between layers. Try not to introduce a lot of air when you mix the compounds or you can get tiny pinholes in it (which will collect moisture and road debris later and start the problem all over again).
I wish i could 1 for that price.I dunno, i bought a $50 taiwanese scummit pan, in nice cad plated steel. Seems to fit pretty well. It was on sale for $39
I here ya,i plan on a new 1.I had a repop on my last 360 fit was perfect,a chance i will take.It's not a #s matching piece their buddy , it's an oil pan for christs sake , walk through the vendors area at Moparfest and you'll find a dozen of em , go sunday afternoon and offer 20 bucks .
