Shes alive an shes stayin alive!!

Ok im not sure what to call it but here it goes!We put the cam in,followed by the gear drive,the gear drive was set up in a previous 318 motor witha diff ca,we put it the way it came out of the old motor,we put it in the car the wrong way the cam dot was on top,not right,we changed it to dot to dot!put the car back togeter and try to start her up fro weeks now,come to find that somthing is wrong,i had two sets of push rods bend on me!the second time it was time to check the heads,pulled them off to find that the intake valves hit the piston,from what iv learnd that means the cam was set wrond it we left the cam dot on the top and the crank dot on the top the cam would hav been set up the right way even thoght thats not how its needed to be,so im pulling the gear drive gear on the cam and turning it to how it needs to be and deg. the cam up right,thats my big fix that ill need to work on this week and need to se if the valves are good cuz the they still look fine i hope that the push rods took alot of the pain for them cuz ther f-ed up!
