Oh no! Not a good sound! 1800 1972

This morning while driving to work I stoped for my morning cup of coffee like always. But this time when I pulled into the parking lot the engine started to make an awfull growling noise. I got out of the car to listen to it and it sounded more like gears not meshing properly rather than some sort of berrings. I suspect that it could be the timing gear but I'm not sure because after I killed the engine and restarted it I haven't heard it again. Any other possible causes? My lifters are shot and therfor I am pretty sure that my cam has a good bit of wear so if I replace the timing gear I will want to also do the cam and lifters while I'm at it. But I wasn't really wanting to do all of this right now. So I hope that it is something less expensive.
