Product Details
COMP Cams is well-known for making performance parts for a wide range of vehicles, and this XE 256H-1 Cam and Lifter Kit is a solid option for anyone looking to wake up their Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Block engine. This kit is designed to work with a variety of classic Chevy V8s, including popular displacements like the 350, 305, and 400 cubic inch engines, offering an improved powerband for street performance.
This kit includes the camshaft, hydraulic flat tappet lifters, assembly lube, decals, and instructions, so you have the essential pieces to get the job done. The XE lobe design is a key feature, offering a more aggressive profile than stock cams for better valve lift and duration, which translates to improved airflow and more power. It’s important to confirm your engine is a flat tappet design, as many later models from the mid-80s onward switched to factory roller camshafts, and this kit is not compatible with those or the newer LS-based engines.
If you’re rebuilding a classic Chevy V8 and want a noticeable bump in performance for street driving, this COMP Cams kit is a popular choice. Just be sure to check your engine's camshaft type before ordering, as this kit is specifically for flat tappet applications.
