What is the main difference between this camshaft and one for a 1965-1966 396 engine?

1965-1966 396 engines have an oiling groove in the rear journal that requires a specific camshaft. This CB Tl292A-8 camshaft does not have that groove and is intended for engines without it.

What kind of performance gains can I expect with this camshaft?

This camshaft is designed for drag racing with a 262/270 duration and .488 lift. It will provide a more aggressive engine profile for improved performance on the track.

Are there any special installation considerations for this camshaft?

This camshaft is for engines originally equipped with flat tappet camshafts. If your engine uses roller lifters, this camshaft will not be compatible. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details.

Product Details

COMP Cams has a long history of building performance valvetrain parts, and this CB Tl292A-8 solid flat tappet camshaft is a great example of their work. It's built for Chevrolet Big Block engines, specifically the 396 to 454 cubic inch displacements, and is intended for drag racing applications. This camshaft features a 262 degrees duration on the intake and 270 degrees on the exhaust, with a .488 inch lift on both sides, giving your engine a more aggressive profile for improved performance.

This camshaft is designed to fit a wide range of Chevrolet vehicles originally equipped with flat tappet camshafts, including models like the 1967-1975 Chevrolet Impala, 1967-1972 Chevrolet Camaro, and 1967-1974 Chevrolet Corvette. It's a solid choice if you're looking to get more out of your Big Block engine for drag strip duty. Keep in mind that this camshaft is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Also, be aware that 1965-1966 396 engines with an oiling groove in the rear journal require a different camshaft; if this applies to your build, please contact us for assistance.
