What Chevrolet Small Block engines does this cam and lifter kit fit?

This kit is designed for Chevrolet GEN 1 Small Blocks, covering many displacements from 262 to 400 cubic inches. However, it does not fit LT1/LT4 engines or factory roller Small Blocks from 1985 and newer, or any LS-based engines. It's best to confirm your engine uses a flat tappet camshaft.

What else might I need to install this camshaft and lifter kit?

For maximum performance, COMP Cams recommends upgrading your intake manifold and exhaust system. If your vehicle has an automatic transmission, a torque converter with a 2500+ stall speed is also recommended for optimal operation with this camshaft.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the camshaft, lifters, assembly lube, and decals. You will need to source other necessary components such as gaskets, timing components, and potentially upgraded intake and exhaust systems as recommended by the manufacturer.

Product Details

When you're looking to wake up your Chevrolet Small Block, this COMP Cams Cam and Lifter Kit is a solid choice. Inside this box, you'll find the CS 280XFI HR hydraulic roller camshaft, a set of matching lifters, assembly lube to get things started right, and decals to show off your upgrade. This kit is designed for hot street applications and is a popular option for builders looking to improve performance on engines like the 350, 327, or 400 cubic inch Small Blocks.

This particular camshaft features a 230-degree intake and 236-degree exhaust duration at .050 inch lift, with .540 inch intake and .560 inch exhaust lift. It's a hydraulic roller setup, which means less friction and better performance compared to flat tappet cams. For this kit to really shine, COMP Cams recommends upgrading your intake gear and exhaust system, and you'll need a 2500+ stall speed torque converter if you're running an automatic transmission. It's important to note that this kit is intended for engines that originally used a flat tappet camshaft; it does not fit factory roller Small Blocks from 1985 and newer, nor does it fit any LS-based engines.

This kit is a significant upgrade for your engine's breathing and power potential. While it's designed for a wide range of Chevrolet Small Blocks, always double-check your specific engine's configuration to ensure it's compatible, especially regarding the factory roller versus flat tappet setup. If you're unsure, removing the intake or timing cover is the best way to confirm what you have before ordering.
