Damper Dudes said that many dampers that are sent to them have been beaten with hammers; mine was an exception.

Back when I was a teenager working on my '56 Ford, the only specialized tool I wished I had was a crankshaft damper puller.  Hammering them on and off was never that successful. Later when I got a real job, it was one of the first tools I bought.  Still have it today.

John and Phil are both correct in mentioning that having the engine upside down on an engine stand will get the job done in changing out the camshaft and lifters.  Changing the lifters on the upside-down engine while it's on a stand is actually quicker than using the aforementioned lifter tool.  The Ford Y lifter tool that was used by the service departments back in the day were designed to change the lifters while the engine was still in the car.

Here are pictures of two different Ford Y lifter tools that were available back in the day.

Too many "he saids" in this story.  Find out what you have before you buy anything.  Mount your engine on an engine stand.  Make sure the cam bearings are installed correctly. Turn the block upside down and install new cam and lifters from the bottom.  I believe the tool you are talking about was used to change the cam and lifters with the engine in the car.  Never used one.

Since the engine is out, and upside down to pull the cam out, you can replace the lifters with an assortment of tools like "remote fingers", magnet on a stick, etc, and install the lifters from the front and around the crank and rods and work them into place without the special tool which installs the lifters with the engine in the car.  Be patient, you can do it.
