First as moderator let me Welcome you to our group. Also nice to see fellow Coloradans in here. Please don't apolgize for "the length" as you said becuause you letter is direct, articulate and well stated so nothing to apologize for.
As for the cam itself I cannot make it out in the photo but am sure you have correctly identified it as a GEN III cam. I do think however that the lifters used on GEN II are the same as V8 lifters. They sure look the same to me. If wrong then there are plenty of folks here who will know it in a heartbeat and help you out. I find it surprising that Crower can't help you with thier own product or am I mis-interpreting what you mean?
Again Welcome!
