In junk yarding,

Get everything from the upper end. You mentioned tungsten acorn nuts. I think he was talking the wear pads on the rocker arms of the later camshaft are tungsten carbide. Camshafts are different too.
Later style camshafts have more lift- so make sure you've got the camshaft tower. You'll need late style valve seals.

Problem I've seen with hollow camshafts has been clogging in engines with mild overheating.
