well if your going like hell and peel the pan thats on you but 3003 alum is damn near dead soft at 080 i not taking cast alum but sheet 3003 alum welded pan .you not going to punch a hole in it any faster then a 030 steet pan and you can grind on it longer on the road if thats what you want to do have used both and have welded steel pans on cars that have ground all the way around the pan look like some one was trying to use a can opener on it . dont you just love them oil pan plug ground half way off ?? i did not want to do it but the guy said he was not going to pull the oil pan if you wanted you could try welding a alum pan with a spool gun have fix some steel pans were the rods came out to
