Product Details

When you're looking to get more out of your AMC V8, this COMP Cams High Energy Camshaft Kit A8 260H (K-KIT) is a complete package designed to improve your engine's performance. This kit includes the camshaft itself, lifters, valve springs, retainers, valve locks, and valve stem seals, ensuring you have the essential components for a camshaft upgrade. It also comes with a timing chain set for proper synchronization, assembly lube for flat tappet applications, and decals and instructions to guide you through the process. This kit is specifically designed for AMC 290, 304, 343, 360, 390, and 401 cubic inch engines, fitting a wide range of vehicles from the 1960s through the early 1990s, including models like the Jeep CJ series, Jeep Cherokee, and American Motors AMX.

The High Energy series camshafts are known for providing good low-end torque, which is great for getting your vehicle moving from a stop, and strong mid-range power that helps with acceleration and passing. This makes the A8 260H a solid option if you plan on towing or simply want a more responsive feel from your engine. While it offers improved performance, it's designed to maintain a smooth idle, especially in engines 304 cubic inches and larger, so you won't have to sacrifice daily drivability for the added power. The hydraulic flat tappet design means it relies on oil pressure to adjust valve lash, simplifying maintenance compared to solid lifter cams.

This kit is a comprehensive solution for anyone looking to rebuild or enhance their AMC V8. Having all the necessary components in one box simplifies the purchasing process and helps ensure compatibility between parts. Remember to consult the included instructions for the best installation practices and to verify fitment for your specific vehicle application.
