capacitor noob question

I'm about ready to build my first coil now.  I've talked with a guy that 
has built a few coils before and he suggested using a neon transformer that 
is used to power those neon lights underneath cars.  I'm not sure what the 
voltage output of these are yet but say 10kV or something.
He also suggested I go searching for a bunch of used disposable cameras to 
get the capacitors out of them.  They are rated at around 350V or so with 
50uF.
This made me wonder about the voltage rating.  Is it fine to string say 29 
or 30 of those together to get up to 10kV rating? How do you go about 
setting up the capacitors?  I think that the capacitance of these isn't 
exactly right for what I need anyways but I'm more concerned with the 
voltage ratings.  If I hooked up 1 350V cap to 10kV wouldn't it just blow 
to bits?

The highest rated cap I could find was only 2.5kV at 2.2nF which for the 
size of the coil I want to make is about what I need, but not the correct 
voltage rating.

Thanks
Devon.
