A competent welder can put that back together again.

It wont be perfect anymore and will require some hand fitting, but it is not in the "dazzle" zone so nobody will see much of it.

However, unless something is missing the unit should slide flush with the crankcase and not require tightening to close any gaps so when you put it back together run the nuts in by hand and do not use them to seat the housing.

I had Caddy V-12 castings fall apart on me and was able to put them back together again, so fixing your part is certainly possible.
