Crank pulley keyway damage

I'm looking at buying a 1st gen legacy wagon, and wondering if there's any way to properly/safely repair a keyway from the crank pulley coming loose and damaging the keyway. In the ad, the person says it would need a replacement shortblock or at least the crank replaced. Just wonder if anyone knows of anyway to make a repair and have it last?
Thanks in advance

hahaha, I'd be looking at keeping it for awhile, probably as a winter car.

It depends on how much damage is done. You can get a new key and either loctite it in or weld it in. If the engine is on it's last leg you could just weld the pulley on

Did that on my 56 Chevy. Just a spot weld . Poor guy that got it after me ruined his wheel puller trying to get it off to change the timing chain. All u do is grind the small weld bead with a dremel tool
