I have a 1998 GM fuel injectected 5.0 Raw water cooled, and has lived in salt water since day 1. Motor runs decent, but I have a rotted oil pan, so I'm going to have to pull it. How long are the block and heads good for? Don't want to go through all that, and have another issue shortly down the road.

Re: motor replacement?

Depends on maintenance, use, and other factors. I would worry more about the manifolds than the heads... Especially in Salt Water.
