"How do you know he didn't go through the case hardening on the cam during the regrind? "
As noted in a couple of posts. That may have well have been the beginning of the end. Then there are a couple of other possible pitfalls along the way that have already been duly noted. Sounds like this project was doomed from the start.
Regarding mechanics. It is always best to have someone already familiar with the ins and outs of your car work on it. I have seen this time and again with the 3rd gen Camaros and Firebirds in our club.

Bullshit, I had a friend that had the same thing happened when he did the same type of swap. Worn lifters and lifter trays can cause a lifter to spin. Did the same type of damage to his cam that this one did.
