Hello all. I recently had the weights fall off my torque converter and wreak havoc. The disaster caused a broken inspection plate bolt hole, bent dust cover, cracked flexplate and the worst, a cracked bellhousing. Not knowing that the bellhousing cracked I purchased a new torque converter, flex plate and dust cover. (Figured I'd put new stuff since it was coming out)The problem I have now is that I'm not sure if I should buy a new case or if the one I have will be ok.
The crack itself is about 2 inches long at about the 1 o'clock position. It's between 2 bolts and not open (where as anything would get in). I know aluminum is difficult to weld so I was thinking maybe just cleaning it real well and putting some JB Weld on it. I also read that a small drilled out hole at the end of the crack would keep it from growing.
What do you guys think?
FYI. This is a 904 transmission attached to a slightly modified 360 (aluminum Edelbrock RPM heads, Mopar performance air gap intake, 600cfm Holley, stock cam and straight dual exhaust with stock exhaust manifolds)
