What is the main difference between this cam and a stock camshaft?

This COMP Cams CS Nostalgia Plus camshaft has a 239/246 degree duration profile, which is more aggressive than most stock camshafts. This allows for better cylinder filling and improved performance, while still aiming for a classic exhaust note.

Does this kit come with everything I need for installation?

The kit includes the camshaft, lifters, assembly lube, decals, and instructions. You will need to supply your own tools and potentially other related parts like gaskets or timing components, depending on your engine's condition.

How can I tell if my engine has a flat tappet or roller camshaft?

The easiest way is to remove the intake manifold or timing cover. If you see lifters with a flat bottom that rides on the cam lobe, it's a flat tappet. If the lifters have a roller wheel on the bottom, it's a roller camshaft. Many engines from the mid-80s onward switched to roller cams.

Product Details

This COMP Cams CS Nostalgia Plus kit features a 239/246 hydraulic flat tappet camshaft and matching lifters, designed to give your Chevrolet Small Block engine a classic GM 30-30 exhaust note with improved performance. It's built for engines that originally used a flat tappet camshaft, fitting a wide range of Chevrolet GEN 1 Small Blocks like the 350, 400, and 327, as well as many Buick, Cadillac, and AM General applications from the 80s and 90s.

The kit includes the camshaft, lifters, assembly lube, decals, and instructions, making it a comprehensive package for your engine build. This kit is a solid option if you're looking to upgrade an older flat tappet engine and want that distinctive, throaty sound associated with classic performance builds, while still gaining a noticeable bump in power over stock.

It's important to confirm your engine uses a flat tappet camshaft before installation, as this kit is not compatible with factory roller camshaft engines, including most 1985 and newer Small Blocks or any LS-based engines. For 1955-1957 Chevrolet 265 engines, a specific oiling groove on the 5th cam journal is required.
