Well that's very interesting. My Ford Racing 427W also ate my cam gear.

Pulled the motor and sent it back to Ford because luckily it was still under warranty. They made it good, but gave no reason as to why it might have happened. I was using the distributor gear they recommend for the cam.

I've seen a fair number of distributor gears eaten up, mostly due to material mismatch, but have seen very few cam gears eaten up.

Mine looked like about 1/3 of the teeth broke off. It did not look like wear.
