So I am selling my buddy the cams ,lifters, bearings & gaskets out of the kit & didnt know if he could use the jugs & pistons also
The problem with the 259E is that it needs compression.. If your buddy uses that cam to build a 110 / 107 with ported heads, I'd bet the build is a screamer.. Have em set the CR to somewhere between 10.8 and 11 to 1..

You'll be looking at the guy's license plate a lot..

as long as compression is set to match the cams,you can run any cam set you want

Just saying your buddy can buy the 110" cylinders and pistons for about $1100, add your cams, lifters, bearings and gaskets that I am sure you will sell cheap, have his heads ported and set up for the compression per bwoltz's post and have good runner.

I believe the only way he could use the cylinders is to open up the bore on the case.
