ZX750 cams in 1982 GPZ 750

I've heard of this swap in the gpzfaq and am just wondering what modifications (if any) are required with it. Will the cams need to be degreed? Does it matter if the "new" cams are from a turbo or non-turbo?

I'm assuming the valves will need to be adjusted as well, then the carbs.
1982 GPZ750, stock (for now..)
1973 VW Bus

The Turbo 750 (ZX750E1,E2) cams are nothing more than stock KZ650 cams.

Make sure you get the cams from the ZX750A1,A2,A3 (1983`1985) GPz750's
1972 H2 750 Cafe Racer built in 1974.
1976 KH400 Production Road Racer.
1979 Kz1000 MK. II Old AMA/WERA Superbike.
1986 RG500G 2 stroke terror.
1986 GSXR750RG The one with the clutch that rattles!

Up in the hills near Prescott, Az.

the base circle in the ZX exhaust cams is different than KZ/early Gpz. they can be used but with some mods / thicker shims ( if i remember right), so not exactly bolt on

the catalog in megacycle's site explains that
