I got an email from Tedford this afternoon, and guessing by his email he has been following the same thread over at Team Chevelle that I have, concerning flat cams and BBC's.
Here are a couple of links to products designed to help fight a flat cam in a BBC, as listed on Team Chevelle:

It looks to me like the lifters would be the simpler way to go, but it seems that actually getting oil TO the camshaft/lifters is the problem. Thoughts?
