The fact that this guy got a Mazda Miata to run and drive without a cam is impressive in and of itself.

I guess the real question would be: could it be worth it?

There are costs associated with fabricating a camless head. It didn't seem too much though as it can be done with a lot of off the shelf parts and simple machined pieces.

But then there's longevity and the chance of destroying a good engine.

But then there's the chance of greatly improving fuel efficiency and power at the same time.
