Can someone knowledgeable advise me on swapping a right side camshaft pls. ? I hv not taken anything apart yet, hence do not know the numbers on camshafts. Any and all pertinent advice is much appreciated.

Knowing the code numbers stamped into the rear of the camshafts is the first step. Remove the cam covers, read the codes with a mirror.
Mechanically the cams from the 450s will interchange, the cams from the 380 will not.
