depending on how horrific that crack is, you can take it to a machine shop, have them brush it, and tig it back together...Had to have that done to a customer's F250...The bellhousing split on the passenger side, 3 inches back, and the cracked portion was large enough to span 2 bellhousing bolts...
a good tig welder should be able to put it back as good or better than it used to be.

I agree, weld it, it'll work as good as ever. Just be sure its bolted to a block when you weld.

I don't think it's necessary to have it bolted to anything when it's welded. Although, the bolt hole may need to be drilled out afterwards. Went through the same thing on a C-6 in a Ford pick up.
You might want to check all the mounts for integrity, motor and tranny. They normally crack for a reason.http://www.myspace.com/daveharrill

weld it up and call it good, seen it done alot. Better make sure you check all of your mounts though, thats usually the cause of the crack.Seth
