a 833 4 speed transmission with bell-housing

Well guys this is what I received today after my purchase. The end of the input shaft has been cut which seller never stated or showed pics of. Also here is what the bell housing looks like a Hugh crack that was brazed back together, how safe is this bell housing? Would you pay this kind of money if this is what you received?

The input doesn't bother me. I'd never use that bell housing even if it want broken, but I damn sure wouldn't use it now.

FWIW NHRA wouldn't say a thing about that bell housing unless the car went quicker than 11.49.
