Question 12/24 valve cam?

Greetings Group. I've been gone a long time but Im back again. Im resurrecting the old 96 12 valve. I need to replace or grind the camshaft and lifters. There is a cam with lifters on Ebay for a 24 valve. Will this work in the 12 valve?
Thanks … Ken Gardner

So they are ground the same, other then the lobe for the lift pump? I am planning on using electric lift pumps. One for diesel the other for WVO so that will work.

The 24v cam has .002" more lift than the 12v cam, but has a bit more duration and a wider LSA.
