I personally would like to hear the back story on this one. I'm confused in HOW the cam shaft has failed and it's the only part needed. Because frankly I would have thought anything that would take out the cam shaft itself would also need a complete timing set as part of the repair.
A mild upgraded Comp cam would run about $350.

IMO that's a lot of $$ if the goal is to just fix the motor for DD use. If this were my project I would consider buying a WHOLE salvage yard motor and raid it for parts. This option has the advantage that IF it turns out to need additional parts, there's a ready supply.
Depending upon what's wrong with the original engine, maybe a whole replacement is a better option.
Try searching car-part.com for salvage yards in your area with whole donor engines.
