Only thing they really share are the same capacity, exhaust manifold and bell housing.

Nope

the TB42 cam shaft runs the firing order of 1-5-3-6-2-4

TD42 runs 1-4-2-6-3-5 so the valves will be opening at the wrong time if you have a TB42 cam in a TD42 and vice versa as they have the lobes in different position

You can get the camshaft ground though. A fellow in Brisbane does an awsome job.
