Product Details

Starting with the 226/241 degree intake/exhaust duration on this COMP Cams Thumpr camshaft, you're looking at a setup designed for a noticeable, choppy idle and improved street performance. This kit is built for Ford's 351 Cleveland, 351 Modified, and 400M engines, and it fits a wide range of vehicles from the 1970s and early 80s, including popular models like the Ford Mustang, Bronco, and F-Series trucks.

This is a hydraulic flat tappet camshaft and lifter kit, meaning it uses a common and well-understood valvetrain design. While it can work with a stock torque converter, you'll see better results and a more responsive feel if you pair it with a converter rated for 2000 RPM or higher, along with appropriate rear-end gearing. The 'Thumpr' designation isn't just for show; it points to the aggressive lobe profiles that create that distinctive, aggressive idle sound that many enthusiasts look for. The kit comes complete with the camshaft, lifters, assembly lube to get you started right, and instructions.

When installing this kit, remember that it's intended for high-performance street use. While it's designed to be compatible with stock converters, upgrading your torque converter and rear-end gears will help you take full advantage of the cam's performance characteristics. This kit is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
