All that money and effort, and your not going to take it down the track? Are you not interested to see what it can do. Seems like alot of money to spend for a short term project.
In regards to the cam cap. You will be completely fine. If it was cracked on the lobe. then its a boat ankor. Get it welded up while its still on the car. You only cracked the girdle portion of it where there is no pressure on. So you should be more then fine with just brazing it.

you need to go worldwide with this, don't just stay in canada, ship parts everywhere, incl US and Europe. ... like Jesse James parts for choppers fetch some serious coin in Asia and Europe.
