Product Details

This COMP Cams High Energy camshaft kit gives you the essential parts to upgrade your AMC V8 engine. Inside this kit, you'll find the camshaft itself, a set of lifters, a complete timing chain set, assembly lube to help with installation, and some decals. It's designed for AMC 290, 304, 343, 360, 390, and 401 cubic inch V8 engines, fitting a wide range of vehicles like the Jeep CJ series, Jeep Cherokee, and AMC Javelin.

This particular camshaft, the A8 268H, is a popular choice for mild daily driven street machines. It offers a broad powerband, meaning you'll feel a noticeable improvement in acceleration across a wider range of RPMs compared to stock. Expect a slightly rougher idle than factory, which is common with performance cams, but it’s a trade-off for the improved performance. For engines in the 290-304 cubic inch range, using lower gears is recommended to best utilize the cam's powerband.

When you're looking to get more out of your classic AMC or Jeep V8, this kit provides a solid foundation for an improved powerband. Make sure to consult the included instructions for proper installation and break-in procedures.
