Big Block Gear Drive On A Slant?

The gear drive, IMO will be much more in my wheelhouse of financial ability. lol Although, with the belt, cam and crank cogs and both seals I am sure I could make an appropriate timing cover out of two slant covers. All you'd have to do is cut the slant cover's front off the bolt rail and move it to the back. Add a seal boss for the camshaft and weld it all back together. It's only sheet metal. It doesn't have to be fancy aluminum. Even still, I've looked at Jesel, Herbert and a host of others and those parts are not in my budget.

I just figure since I have a 225 bare block starin me in the face with the old cam and crank, I might can play around and make something work with the gear drive.

Yall can piss on it all you want to. This is my sandbox.
