COMP Cams Cam & Lifter Kit A8 292H

Starting with the Magnum 244/244 hydraulic flat tappet camshaft, this COMP Cams kit is built for AMC 290 through 401 cubic inch V8 engines. It’s designed as a street/strip camshaft, meaning it’s intended for vehicles that see regular driving but are also used for performance events. For best results, COMP Cams recommends using this with at least 10:1 compression, a 3000+ RPM stall torque converter, and low rear-end gears to take full advantage of its aggressive profile.

This kit includes the camshaft itself, a set of matching hydraulic lifters, assembly lube to ensure proper break-in, and decals. The A8 292H profile is known for producing a very rough idle, which is often a desirable characteristic for performance builds where a noticeable idle sound is part of the appeal. It’s a well-built option for AMC V8 owners looking to significantly alter their engine’s performance characteristics for more power, especially in larger displacement engines like the 360 and up.

This kit is compatible with a wide range of AMC and Jeep vehicles from the late 1960s through the early 1990s, including models like the Jeep CJ series, Jeep Cherokee, and AMC Javelin. Always refer to the included instructions for detailed installation procedures and break-in requirements.
