COMP Cams Camshaft CS 268H-10

This is the COMP Cams CS 268H-10 hydraulic flat tappet camshaft, designed for Chevrolet Small Block V8 engines. You get the camshaft itself, ready to be installed into your engine. This particular cam is a popular choice for those looking to upgrade their 1958-1998 carbureted Small Block Chevys, offering a noticeable bump in performance while maintaining drivability for daily use or marine applications.

The 218 degrees of intake and exhaust duration, combined with its hydraulic flat tappet design, means you'll get a solid performance increase over stock, especially when paired with a stock torque converter. Expect a bit of a choppy idle, which many enthusiasts appreciate for the sound and the indication of a healthy performance cam. It's also noted as the biggest cam suitable for inboard/outboard boat engines, making it a versatile option for ski boats, economy cruising, and even some spirited driving.

This camshaft is 50-state legal for 1987 and earlier carbureted V8 Small Block Chevys, carrying C.A.R.B. E.O. numbers D-279-3, D-279-5, and D-279-6. While it fits a wide range of Chevrolet Small Blocks, it's important to confirm your specific engine is a flat tappet design, as many later models (mid-80s and newer) came with factory roller cams. Checking your intake manifold or timing cover area will help you determine which type you have.
