Looking for a 4.2L cam

Hi, I've got a 3.8 Mustang. As many of you know the 4.2 is nothing more than a stroked 3.8. I'm trying to find a 4.2L cam to swap into my car. V6 mustang people that have done this gain about 20rwtq and 10rwhp due to slightly more intake duration. Anyway, do you guys know where I can get my hands on one?

Thanks

Justin.

I believe people are saying it was bad headgaskets, engine loses all the oil (or most) and BLOAW!, might mess up cam, might not just depends per specific motor.
