Default 96' Bayou 400 4x4 camshaft

Recently I traded for a 96' bayou 400 4x4. It had a little noise in the top end, so I took it apart and found that the rocker arms were worn down badly, but also the cam shaft had at some point been worn down, and built back up with a welder. Needless to say I need a cam and a set of rocker arms. I've found several sources to purchase them new, but I only have a $300 dollar budget at the moment, and I also need a drain screw for the carb float bowl, and choke cable and really don't want to have to blow my whole wad on just the cam and rocker arms. Does anybody know a aftermarket source for these? Or maybe even a salvage yard that may possibly have them?? I've been searching relentlessly for the last week or so and have came up with nothing. Its almost like any Kawasaki ATV made before 2000 except the bayou 220 has dissapeared off the earth! I'd like to get this thing together and be able to ride it a little bit this winter in the snow, but I've allready missed one chance here in ky! If anybody has any ideas or suggestions please let me know!

It would nice to know if the 400 is just a bored or stroked 300 Bayou motor,if so I would put the performance 300 Lakota cam in there instead. Here is a plce that goes back to 1981 for Kawi parts.World of Powersports' Kawasaki ATV Parts Finder

$180 for cam
$63 for each Rocker

Thanks everybody. I would up at a place Mrcycles.com and ordered a cam thru them for like 140, rockers for 50 each. The cam from the 300cc to the 400cc is a completely different design to btw....i wound up doing some research because i found a bayou 300 for parts.
