You can only get the part from Hyundai. It is the cam from the 1.8L elantra.
We recent found out that the cam from the 2001 2.0L elantra is even better, but since that cam is designed for use with shimmed valves rather than HLA valves like our motors, it may cause problems with your valve springs, it may not. the jury is still out.
I seriously DOUBT that it will cause any problems, as there are aftermarket cams with much higher duration and lift, and they can be run with the stock valve springs.

After talking with a few very knowledgeable engine builders here in the city, I'm of the mind that the 2.0L intake cam from the 2001 Elantras should be fine on our stock springs. We should be perfectly OK to install these on any of the previous motors.
