Product Details

Starting with the 218 degrees of intake and exhaust duration, this COMP Cams High Energy camshaft kit is built for a specific purpose: to give your AMC V8 a noticeable bump in performance for daily driven street machines. This isn't a race cam, but it's designed to wake up your engine with a broad powerband that's usable in everyday driving situations. You'll notice a slightly rougher idle than stock, which is a good indicator that the engine is breathing better and making more power.

This K-Kit is a complete package, meaning you get everything you need to get the job done right. Inside the box, you'll find the camshaft itself, a set of hydraulic flat tappet lifters, valve springs, retainers, valve locks, and valve stem seals. COMP Cams also includes a timing chain set to ensure your valvetrain is synchronized correctly, plus assembly lube specifically for flat tappet applications, decals, and detailed instructions. This comprehensive approach helps ensure a smooth installation and reliable performance.

This kit is designed to fit a wide range of AMC and Jeep V8 engines, including popular models like the Jeep CJ series, Cherokee, and Wagoneer, as well as AMC vehicles such as the AMX and Javelin. By providing all the necessary components in one package, COMP Cams makes it easier to upgrade your engine's performance without hunting for individual parts. It's a solid option for anyone looking to improve their classic AMC or Jeep V8's power delivery for street use.
