Using a used cam is no problem at all BUT the lifters MUST be installed on the same exact lobes that they originally were on otherwise it will eat the cam and lifters. Lifters are relatively cheap so i would use the used cam but install new lifters so that you know you won't have a failure.

if you use new lifters make sure you follow proper cam break in procedures.
