Alvin,
Before you drop the pan, see if you can tell how much clearance you have on
the inside, by looking/measuring through the hole, to make sure you have
room for a patch without hitting the crank or rods. Then drop the pan and
take it to a certified welder - have them TIG weld in a flat plate patch on
the inside, and then flip it over and tig the outside. Won't be pretty, but
will be serviceable. Oh, and as datsunmike said, run a skid plate with an
aluminum pan.
