You'll probably need a new block- At the very least.

If your not planning to make power out of it or anything then I dont see why it couldnt be welded up since the hole came from the outside in. Is that shiny area where the pulley rubbed it?

It has a timing chain, so you should have a front cover. So just get a new front cover

or take the cover off and get it welded
