Give us a little more background on the car and what you will be doing. Is it an M6 or auto?

OP.......

I do not think that cam will clear on 59cc heads unless you flycut. Not sure but I think that cam has 240ish duration. England Green doesn't release cam specs IIRC....

I am not sure but if they are the old style Patriots with the welded up chambers they MAY fit...... Maybe find out what they are and call Gunnar @ Patriot......
