Is it OK to use a used cam with new lifters or will the wear pattern on the cam mess up the lifters?

Thanks

No problem at all. Just observe the usual cam breakin procedure including the 20 minutes at 2000-2500 rpm, etc.

Yep, not a problem, just the other way around you really don't want to do. IE new cam with used lifters is a bad idea.
