Cracked Bell Housing

[Gearbox94]

Hey guys so i'm relatively new here but wanted to get some opinions on a bell housing i picked up for a T56 from a 2003 cobra. It looks like there's either a scratch or crack in the bell housing right where the starter hump is. I'm hoping its not a crack but just wanted to get some opinions.

it doesn't look like a crack to me,but I am just looking at a picture lol. I wouldn't be scared of it- but if you are not 100% on wether it's a crack or not, Google welding /machine shops in your area,and have them look at it.
If it is a crack-have them weld it. If not-run it

Hard to say if it's a crack or a casting line. Is the feature on the opposite side?

Kits like these are also an option

Hey thanks for the reply. No there's no mark on the opposite side. After looking at the area with a magnifying glass it looks like a casting line, it's a raised spot.
