I finally got my hands on three used 88 pistons for the motor I had in my
bus. So I am putting that one back together now. IMHO slip in 88 cylinder
walls are too thin. The machine in 88 walls are very thick. As for cams, My
favorite for a bus motor is a scat c25 or engle 100. After my last
experience with a 110, I will probably never put one in a street motor
again.
The guy I got the used 88s from also had a set of new forged 88s for a 78 mm
stroker crank. Pistons only for $50.

I run 88mm Forged pistons with a 110 engle cam , the
88's are slip in, I haven't had any trouble ,butttt ,I
think I am extremly lucky , I also change my oil
almost after every trip , 200 miles or more, Bob says
that his theory is that the folks break the bottom of
the skirts as their installing them , butttt, I know I
wouldn't have used 88's if I had read all the horror
stories first. 1776 is what I 'll probably do next ,
with straight cut cam gear , . Good luck , 88's or
rearist of the rare at most shops
