Need opinions on my welded tranny bellhousing

[ryanx99GS]

I have yet to run this as my motor is being built right now. I didn't have the money at the time to buy a used auto so my dad had his friend weld it. He had to heat up the crack with torches and he put rags on the side with the internals to keep it cool. While he did this though, one of the ball bearings fell out. Attempted to get it back in but it was almost impossible. Just wanted some opinions to see if you think my tranny will still be good.

I had a friend who welded his tranny (manual), later it started to crack on either side of the weld.

Hmmmm, Did he weld it or have someone do it

Are those crack photos after the welding was done? It's not enough of a weld, if so.

To get the bearing back in, re-heat the case.

he had a welder do it for him.
