Swapping the inlet cam from a KR into a 9a is a common, cheap and stealthy mod. So yes this is true (do a search and look in the knowledge base as its been covered a few times before) and no it shouldn't cause any problems.

Yes, just swap the inlet cam over. You could take one of the left over exhaust cams and have it modified to use as an inlet cam for even more power, a very popular conversion in the 80's and early nineties.
