Product Details

This is the COMP Cams Xtreme Energy XE262H1 hydraulic flat tappet camshaft and lifter kit, designed for AMC V8 engines displacing 290 through 401 cubic inches. If you're looking to wake up your classic AMC or Jeep with a more aggressive idle and improved mid-range power, this kit is a solid choice. It's a popular upgrade for those wanting a noticeable difference in engine character without going to an extreme setup.

The XE262H1 camshaft features a 218-degree intake and 224-degree exhaust duration at .050 inch lift, providing a good balance for street performance. This means you get better throttle response and a stronger pull in the RPM range where you'll likely be driving most often. The kit includes the camshaft, lifters, assembly lube, decals, and instructions, so you have the essential components to get the job done. It's well-built for reliable performance on a wide range of AMC and Jeep applications from the late 60s through the early 80s.

When installing a new camshaft, it's always a good idea to check your valve springs to ensure they are compatible with the new cam's lift and RPM range. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for proper break-in procedures to ensure the longevity of your new cam and lifters.
