Product Details

This COMP Cams K-Kit camshaft package starts with a Magnum 224/224 hydraulic flat tappet camshaft, designed for AMC 290 through 401 cubic inch V8 engines. It's a popular choice for those looking to get more out of their 360 or 401 engines, especially when paired with a stock torque converter, headers, and an aftermarket intake manifold. You can expect a mild, noticeable idle with this setup, indicating the improved airflow and performance it brings.

This isn't just a camshaft; it's a complete kit to ensure a proper installation and optimal performance. Inside the box, you'll find the camshaft itself, a full set of lifters, valve springs, retainers, valve locks, and valve stem seals. It also includes a timing chain set for a synchronized valvetrain, assembly lube specifically for flat tappet applications, and decals. COMP Cams includes detailed instructions to guide you through the process, making this a comprehensive solution for your engine build.

This kit is well-suited for a wide range of AMC and Jeep vehicles from the late 1960s through the early 1990s, including models like the Jeep CJ series, J-series trucks, and AMC Ambassador. While it offers a mild rough idle, it's a solid option for improving the performance of your classic AMC V8. Please note that this part is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
