That's the one I used.
As for where to find one, I found mine sitting in a farmer's field... still attached to its 1993 Swift. Have you tried the local boneyards?
As for the cam, OEM might be tricky to find, given we didn't get the XFi model in Canada. There's also Mike (username "suprf1y" on teamswift.net) who does economy grinds from regular cams.

So I figure, with the taller tires, Cam swap, advanced timing and much lower final drive tranny..she should be getting some much improved Mpg!?

I'd say you'd be good for roughly a 10-12% improvement over stock fuel economy with those mods. FYI, these cars will not meet their (old) EPA / Transport Canada highway fuel economy ratings if driven over 100 km/h. And that's in good weather. Just a heads-up.
