You may not have anything to do this with but I have had good luck shaping a oversize key to fit in worn cam. Usualy only one side of cam and keyway is worn so you can figure out where the center lineup is. Try to get cam and gear back in same relationship. If the cam is not out of engine watch and don't push cam back when installing gear. Recommend it be out or have a pusher that screws on front of cam. Sometimes cam gear needs key slot straightend up first before sizing key. Takes time ,trial and error to fit everything tight. If cam has the original right hand threads for cam nut, stake nut to threads after tight. Don't know how far into production your 400 is so if your cam gear # ends with DB instead DA, The DB was machined with a smaller diameter on ID for tighter fit to cam so I would recommend supporting cam behind first cam bearing surface when installing.
