What rod? Clean 6061 to cast GM oil pan

I need to make some ground clearance so milling off about .750" off the bottom of a NEW oil pan and welding in a plate. The casting is new so there will be no oil to contend with but other report that the pan is an alloy that isn't that clean. What rod will give the best results (ie: no leaks)?
