tail stock T-56

[2000dreambird]

ok so i was taking my car apart yesterday, getting ready for my motor swap.
well i noticed a lot of stress cracks on the tail stock of my trans, right where the torque arm bolts to it. well after i took the TA out i put a jack under the trans to hold it up as i took the cross member off well when i jacked it enough to support the weight i seen the stress crack twist just a little bit, this tells me that my tail stock is really weak.. some one chime in on this and let me know if this is
1. a common problem
2. a easy fix
3. where do i get a new tail section for the trans
