Product Details

This is the COMP Cams Magnum 220/220 Hydraulic Roller Cam and Lifter Kit, designed for your 1985 Ford LTD. If you're looking to get more power out of your 5.0L engine, especially in street machines, this kit is a solid choice. It's built to deliver its best performance when your engine is spinning above 3500 RPM, while still offering good torque down lower.

This kit includes the camshaft, lifters, assembly lube, decals, and instructions, so you have the essentials to get the job done. It's considered the largest hydraulic roller cam that can work with stock heads and intake manifolds, making it a popular upgrade for those wanting a significant power boost without a complete engine overhaul. You'll notice a mild, rough idle with this cam, which is typical for performance grinds that prioritize top-end power. For optimal performance, a 2000+ stall torque converter is recommended to keep the engine in its power band during acceleration.

While this kit is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California, it's a well-built option for enthusiasts looking to wake up their classic Ford 5.0L. Make sure to follow the included instructions for proper installation and break-in procedures.
