Getting a 904 trans given to me for the price of scrap, big problem is there is a crack 70% of the way around the bell housing part. The crack is in a place were no fluid gets to it. I would like to try and make this work. My cousin is a good welder and his dad is really good. Think I can weld this thing together and jt hold? Iv heard to drill a small hole at both ends of the crack to keep it from going any farther and grind a "v" half way through the case along the crack and pull it tight together with a ratchet strap (half way through. Not all the way not changing the length or structure in any way) and weld it back. Its going behind a 318 magnum stock with intake headers carb and 9.5-1 comp ratio. Any good news this may work? If not it isn't like I will be out any money with the price of aluminum. Worst come to worst I just waist couple hrs swapping it out
