Product Details

COMP Cams is well-known for making performance camshafts that help engines breathe better and make more power. This FF 270H-10 camshaft is designed for daily use in street machines, particularly those with Ford Big Block 429 and 460 engines. It's a hydraulic camshaft, meaning it uses oil pressure to operate, making it a good choice for a street-driven vehicle.

This is the largest camshaft that can work with a stock torque converter, though you'll see even better performance if you pair it with a converter rated for 1800 RPM or higher. It really likes headers, so if you've got an exhaust system that breathes well, this cam will take advantage of it. Expect a mild rough idle with this camshaft; it’s part of the character you get when you step up to a more aggressive cam profile for improved performance.

This camshaft fits a wide range of Ford and Mercury vehicles from the late 60s through the mid-90s, including models like the Ford F-150, Mercury Marquis, and Lincoln Continental. It's a solid option if you're looking to improve the performance of your Big Block Ford engine for street use.
