Product Details

When you're looking to give your AMC V8 a noticeable boost in performance, this COMP Cams Camshaft Kit SK10-204-4 is a solid option. What you get in this kit is a complete package to get you started: the camshaft itself, a set of lifters, a timing chain set, assembly lube, decals, and the installation instructions. This kit is specifically designed for AMC engines ranging from the 290 cubic inch all the way up to the 401, covering a wide range of classic American Motors and Jeep vehicles.

This Magnum 230/230 hydraulic flat tappet camshaft is often chosen for street machine builds. It's designed to work well with a 9:1 compression ratio and is recommended for use with a 2500 RPM stall torque converter and lower rear-end gears to really take advantage of its improved performance characteristics. Expect a rougher idle with this cam, which is typical for performance grinds like this one, but it translates to more power when you need it. You'll also need to ensure you have the proper intake manifold to complement the cam's airflow needs.

This kit is a popular choice for those looking to get more out of their AMC V8. It’s important to note that this part is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for proper installation and break-in procedures.
