Product Details
This COMP Cams CS 285B-6 camshaft is a solid flat tappet design intended for Chevrolet Small Block engines. You're getting the camshaft itself, ready to be installed in a wide range of vehicles like the Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, C10 trucks, and many others from the 1980s and 1990s. It's built for performance applications, including drag racing, pulling, mud racing, and oval track use.
This cam is designed to provide excellent torque and a manageable idle, making it a versatile choice for builds needing good power across the RPM range. For optimal performance, it works best with around 10:1 compression and lower gear ratios, and it pairs well with a 3800+ stall torque converter or a 4-speed manual transmission. It's a popular option for those looking to get more out of their 327 to 350 cubic inch engines.
Keep in mind that this camshaft is specifically for flat tappet engines. If your engine was originally equipped with a factory roller camshaft, this part will not be compatible. Also, 1955-1957 Chevrolet 265 engines have a specific oiling groove requirement on the rear journal that this particular camshaft does not accommodate. Always refer to manufacturer instructions for proper installation and compatibility checks.
