COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CB 286H

This is the COMP Cams Magnum 236/236 Hydraulic Flat Cam Kit, part number SK11-318-4. It's designed for Chevrolet Big Block engines originally equipped with flat tappet camshafts, covering displacements from 396 to 454 cubic inches. This kit is a popular choice for builders looking to significantly change their engine's performance profile, aiming for increased power and a more aggressive sound.

Inside this kit, you'll find the camshaft itself, a set of lifters, a timing chain set, assembly lube, and decals to help with installation. The 236/236 duration on both intake and exhaust sides means this cam will produce a noticeable, choppy idle and is best suited for applications where a strong top-end power band is desired. To get the most out of this camshaft, it requires supporting modifications such as at least 9.5:1 compression, a torque converter with a 2800+ stall speed, headers, and lower gear ratios in the rear end. This ensures the engine can effectively utilize the increased airflow and duration the cam provides.

This kit fits a wide range of Chevrolet vehicles from the late 1960s through the mid-1970s, including popular models like the Chevrolet Impala, Chevelle, and Camaro, as well as C/K series trucks. It's important to note that this camshaft is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Ensure you have the necessary supporting components and are prepared for the more aggressive idle characteristics before installation.
