It's a cam cap. I have a set from a GSR head. I believe they are the same. Call or text if you want it and we can work out an offer. Thanks,

i would just get it welded and drill/tap, all cam caps are different for different heads, just like a main cap on a block, if you get one from another head it can have too little or too much clearance and cause wear problems and possible aluminum shavings inside the engine
