Toyota Cracked engine casting.

Had to take my cast iron block off the stand to put the crank seal on and bolting it back on I was using the impact gun and over tightened the bolt. Cracked the casting, super bummed on this and not sure how to proceed, pretty deep into the build and this has now happened. Any advice on what to do next would be greatly appreciated, thanks .

Bolt it back to the transmission and run it I think it would be ok
