broken block where bell housing screw goes

i have a 71 pontiac 400 with the bottom most right rear corner of the block chipped off, splitting right down the middle of the bell housing threads. What to do??? Is the engine trashed, or will 5 of the 6 bolts do just fine?? Advice anyone??

Is that a welding job for a good shop?
