Product Details

COMP Cams is well-known for making performance valvetrain components that help engines breathe better and make more power. This Xtreme Marine camshaft is designed for Ford Big Block 385 series engines, specifically the 429 and 460 cubic inch V8s. It's built to give you a noticeable idle and strong performance in the mid-range, making it a solid option for street use or even with a small blower setup.

This hydraulic flat tappet camshaft features a 226/236 degree intake/exhaust duration at .050 lift, which is a popular grind for improving throttle response without sacrificing too much low-end torque. The design focuses on delivering power where you'll feel it most during everyday driving and when you need to accelerate. It's a well-built component aimed at giving your Ford big block an improved personality on the road.

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-250 and Mercury Marquis. While it offers improved performance, remember that it is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always consult your vehicle's specific service manual for installation procedures and any other components you might need for a complete camshaft swap.
