3.4 Cam

I have an '87 that was originally equipped with a 2.8. I swapped in a 3.4 out of a '95 Camaro. Now it seems the engine has a blown head gasket, so when I tear it down, I want to replace the cam while I'm there. But everwhere I've looked, it seems the '95+up 3.4's use a roller cam. I haven't had any luck finding anyone who makes an aftermarket cam for this motor. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where to look? Do you know if I could go back to a normal Hydraulic Lifter cam?

Thanks.

Totally correct.
I got two 3.4s & they both have simple Hyd. Cams.
When ya do your job, take off both heads & have them planed for removing any warpage.
IF ya got the bucks, also install new valve seals to cure future soon to happen oil leak into cylinders.
