I'd be more than happy to help you with cam selection.....shoot me an email if you wish.

I'd be more inclined to find out why it ate the gear first though...

Check the distance from the distributor flange to the end of the gear. There is a spec for the gear to be installed by and if it's too short/too long, it can do what you're describing.

Lifters are cheap. Most likely, Ford Racing used the OEM spider and OEM lifters. If so, a new set is about $110...
