COMP Cams Cam & Lifter Kit A8 279T H-10

This COMP Cams kit gives you everything you need to get a new camshaft and lifters installed in your AMC V8 engine. Inside the box, you'll find the camshaft itself, a set of hydraulic flat tappet lifters, assembly lube to get everything started right, and decals and instructions to guide you through the process. This kit is designed for AMC 290, 304, 343, 360, 390, and 401 cubic inch engines, covering a wide range of vehicles like the Jeep CJ series, Jeep Cherokee, and various American Motors models from the late 60s through the early 80s.

The A8 279T camshaft profile is built for performance street use. It's known for producing a noticeable, choppy idle that many enthusiasts appreciate, and it works well with a stock torque converter, though it really shines when paired with a 2000+ RPM stall converter and appropriate rear-end gears. This setup helps to maximize the powerband of the cam, giving you improved throttle response and overall performance for your AMC V8.

When installing this kit, remember to follow the included instructions carefully, especially regarding the assembly lube. Proper lubrication is key for the longevity of the camshaft and lifters. This kit is a solid option for anyone looking to wake up their AMC V8 with a bit more power and a distinctive idle sound.
