I had the exact problem a few years ago except mine was on # 4. Using instructions I got on this forum, I repaired the pitting on the block using JB Weld and it has held up just fine since. The process is to clean the block pitted area with a wire brush and brake cleaner to get it spotless. Then apply the JB weld on the area and mount the manifold without the gasket but with a sheet of wax paper between the manifold and block & tighten it down and let it set up for a couple of hours. Remove the manifold & wax paper and grind off the excess JB Weld that got squished out around the mating surface. Re-install the manifold with the gasket & you should be good to go. Like I said, mine has held up well for the past 2 years with no leakage.
