Doug, I have not tried that particular brazing job, but I think it would be much better than just about any other method so far mentioned.  However, that rotor housing  is  a large mass of aluminum to get up to temperature brazing temperature, so it would probably take a high BTU torch and perhaps a larger propane tank (like for the BBQ grill)  rather than the smaller bottles.  I would certainly try it on a junk housing first.  But, seeing what they did in the H2000 video with that stuff, I would say it's certainly worth a try.

Ed:  You have considerable experience "brazing" aluminum such as your runners on your intake manifold; so do you think that method could be successfully used to secure the short stacks on a PP? 
 
I just received my rods and video so I hope to attempt my own brazing operation this weekend as I fabricate my intake manifold...
