Will this camshaft fit my 1966 Chevrolet 396 Big Block engine?

No, this specific camshaft (part number 11-235-3) will not fit 1965-1966 396 Big Block engines that have an oiling groove in the rear journal. For those specific engines, you will need to contact COMP Cams directly to order a camshaft with the oiling groove.

What other parts might I need when installing this camshaft?

When replacing a camshaft, it's highly recommended to also replace the valve springs, lifters, and pushrods to ensure optimal performance and longevity. It's also a good idea to inspect the camshaft bearings and oil pump for wear.

Product Details

If you're looking to get more out of your Chevrolet Big Block engine, especially for heavy towing applications, this COMP Cams Xtreme 4x4 camshaft is a solid option. It's designed to provide great mid-range power and is noted as the largest cam that can be used with a stock torque converter. This camshaft is a popular choice for those running 4.10 gears and needing that extra grunt for hauling.

This particular camshaft, the CB X4 262H-11, features a 218/226 degree intake/exhaust duration split and is a hydraulic flat tappet design. It's well-suited for a range of Chevrolet Big Block engines, including the 396, 427, and 454 cubic inch displacements, originally equipped with flat tappet camshafts. While it offers improved performance, it's important to note that it is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.

When installing this camshaft, remember that it's intended for engines originally equipped with flat tappet designs. For 1965-1966 396 Big Block engines that have an oiling groove in the rear journal, this specific part number will not fit. In those cases, you'll need to contact COMP Cams directly for assistance in ordering the correct camshaft with the oiling groove.
