Product Details

When you're looking to get more out of your Oldsmobile V8, this COMP Cams Cam and Lifter Kit CL42-236-4 is a solid option. Inside this box, you'll find the camshaft itself, a set of lifters, assembly lube to get everything started right, and the instructions you'll need. This kit is designed for Oldsmobile 260 through 455 cubic inch V8 engines, covering a wide range of vehicles from 1967 and up, including popular models like the Cutlass Supreme and Delta 88.

This is a Magnum/Marine 244/244 hydraulic flat tappet camshaft, meaning it's built for performance applications. It's well-suited for street/strip use, especially when paired with a 3000+ RPM stall torque converter, lower rear-end gears, and increased compression. Expect a rough idle with this cam, which is typical for performance grinds like this. It's also noted as a good choice for jet boat applications, particularly for bracket racing or river use where consistent power delivery is key.

For installation, remember that this kit is intended for engines with aftermarket manifolds and requires careful attention to the included instructions. It's a significant upgrade that changes the engine's personality, so be prepared for the rougher idle and increased performance characteristics.
