What to do with stock LT1 cam?

I finished my cam swap the other day, and the only thing I'm left wondering is what to do with the old cam. Is it worth even trying to sell? Or should I use it for yard decoration? Any ideas?

People will buy them. You wont get much but they are a decent upgrade for older cars.

Try to sell it, and in the meantime, use it as decoration.

Turns out some people put them in their L31 engines. Mid-late 90s vortec engine (tahoes, yukons, etc...)

I used my old hotcam for a handle on my big Matco toolbox at work. Turned out great. It was bad btw had a chip on a lobe or two. Maybe I'll post up a pic later.

Use it for personal protection. I keep mine in the trunk to use as a club in case my opti goes out while I'm driving through the ghetto and leaves me stranded.

Brass knuckles ain't **** compared to cam lobes to the face.
