What type of lifters does this camshaft use?

This COMP Cams CS 272Tl-6 camshaft is designed for solid flat tappet lifters. It has a tight lash specification, which is characteristic of solid lifter camshafts.

Will this camshaft fit my 1988 Chevrolet 350 engine?

Yes, this camshaft fits many Chevrolet Small Block engines from 1988. However, you must confirm that your specific engine uses a flat tappet camshaft and not a factory roller camshaft, as this cam is not compatible with roller blocks.

Are there any specific engine years or types that this camshaft will NOT fit?

This camshaft does not fit factory roller Small Blocks built from 1985 and newer, nor does it fit any LS-based engines like the LS1, LS2, or LS3. Additionally, 1955-1957 Chevrolet 265 engines require a specific oiling groove that this cam does not have.

Product Details

If you're building a smaller displacement Chevrolet Small Block engine, like a 327 or 350, and need a camshaft that works well with intake restrictions or for tight-cornered tracks, this COMP Cams CS 272Tl-6 camshaft is a solid option. It's designed to provide improved performance in these specific scenarios, offering a good balance for short track racing or street applications where engine breathing might be limited.

This camshaft features a 242-degree intake duration and 246-degree exhaust duration with a tight lash specification, meaning it's built for solid lifters. The solid flat tappet design is a well-known configuration for many classic Small Block Chevy engines. COMP Cams is a popular name in performance engine components, and this camshaft is made to meet the demands of its intended use, offering a noticeable change in your engine's powerband compared to stock.

It's important to note that this camshaft fits a wide range of Chevrolet Small Block engines, including many from the 1980s and early 1990s. However, it does not fit factory roller camshaft blocks from 1985 and newer, nor does it fit LS-based engines. Always double-check your specific engine block to confirm it uses a flat tappet setup before ordering.
