Technically, you could restore the crank (ref. Jim Jarrett's signature).  You could even do it
successfully provdided you had the crank out and drilled, helicoiled, etc.

Realistically, even I'm not cheap enough to salvage *that*.  It's going to prove easier (and FAR
safer) to just replace it and have a nice paperweight to tell stories about.  You can replace a
crank with the engine in the car.  Won't be pretty, but certainly do-able.
