try Tighe cams in brisbane. have spoken to them in the past and they said they can turn and grind one up from a blank piece of suitable material. cost would be 6-700 bucks. well worth it.
roller lifters of the cleveland variety will fit in a crossflow so lifter availability is o.k.
As far as dissy drive is concerned, have had 2 competing opinions.
1. tighes said they would hard chrome an ordinary gear to go with the harder cam material required for a roller cam.
2. make up a new gear from a suitable material.

Yet to do this, so I cant say which gear would be best.

Ray Spencer at Crow cams did one for an American Econo Racer called 'JR' with a Cross-flow engine in 1990. There wasn't the demand for anything more than that one cam, and there was no follow-up article. I think Tim Britten did the article, also interviewing and previewing six cylinder gear by Lynx, Crow, Redline, Yella Terra, Hemi Performance, and many others.

Call or e-mail Crow Cams in Australia, and ask Ray about it. It's in the Street MACHINE series on Hot Sixes, 1990.
