Product Details

If you're looking to give your AMC V8 engine a serious performance boost with a distinctive sound, this COMP Cams Camshaft Kit is a solid choice. This kit is designed for AMC 290, 304, 343, 360, 390, and 401 cubic inch engines, covering a wide range of American Motors and Jeep vehicles from the late 60s through the early 80s. It's built for high-performance street applications and is known for producing that desirable choppy, thumping idle that signals a serious upgrade under the hood.

This isn't just a camshaft; it's a complete K-Kit, meaning you get everything you need to get the job done right in one box. Inside, you'll find the camshaft itself, 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, along with assembly lube for flat tappet applications and helpful instructions. This comprehensive approach means you won't be scrambling for extra parts during installation.

For best results with this camshaft, COMP Cams recommends using it with a torque converter rated for 2000 RPM or higher, and it pairs well with a gear ratio upgrade. While it can work with a stock converter, you'll notice a significant improvement in performance and that signature idle with the recommended setup. This kit is a popular choice for enthusiasts looking to wake up their classic AMC or Jeep engine with improved street performance and an aggressive sound.
