Yes they will. The 500/550/650 cams swap pretty well, and I always would encourage you to find the matching rockers when using a used cam. Pay close attention to the lobes when buying a used cam, and only buy it from someone you might actually know, or can get a vouch for.

I've bought a used one, was promised it was good and reliable. Upon receipt, it was worth nothing more than its scrap metal. If you can afford it, I'd rather use a MegaCycle 126-00 cam, but it will be 2-3x the expense.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis

Alright,
   I am going to take the cam from the other engine and see if it is in good condition as well.   I'll then see which valve inlets and spring assemblies are in the best shape and use  those.

If anyone does have a 650 in good condition with rockers let me know.

I'm going to build a work bench and work on splitting the bottom engine case today.
