That looks like the result of a broken crank. I don't think I'd be too concerned about the damage and repairs on the off-side - I doubt if that's caused any significant distortion and if the welds are failing a liquid metal repair will make it oil-tight. However the damage on the camshaft side would give me cause for concern - I can well believe there will be critical distortion there. Unless that proves to be the original case for the car I would recommend sourcing a better replacement - or, as others have suggested, doing one of the three-bearing cases. They may not be original spec for the car, but a well-built three-bearing engine is a delight.
