COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CB 270H

If you're building a street machine for your Chevrolet Big Block, this COMP Cams camshaft kit is a solid option. This kit is designed for engines originally equipped with flat tappet camshafts, like the 396 and 454 cubic inch V8s found in many classic Chevys. It's a popular choice for daily driven vehicles that also see weekend action, and it works well with a stock torque converter, especially when paired with headers.

The Magnum 224/224 camshaft profile offers a noticeable bump in performance over stock, with a slight rough idle that many enthusiasts appreciate for its aggressive character. For the 396ci engine, COMP Cams recommends a gear ratio between 3.55 and 3.73, along with a torque converter rated for 1800 RPM or higher, to best utilize the camshaft's powerband. This kit includes the camshaft, lifters, a timing chain set, assembly lube, decals, and instructions, so you have the essential components for the swap.

This kit is a well-built package that aims to improve your engine's performance for street use. It's important to note that this part is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper setup and break-in procedures.
