COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CS Nostalgia L79

COMP Cams has a long history of making serious performance valvetrain parts, and this Nostalgia Plus camshaft kit is a prime example. If you're looking to capture the classic sound and feel of the legendary GM L79 camshaft but want to use modern manufacturing techniques, this kit is for you. It's designed to give your Chevrolet Small Block engine that distinctive rumble and character while offering improved performance over the original.

This isn't just a camshaft; it's a complete K-Kit, meaning COMP Cams has bundled everything you need for a successful installation. Inside, you'll find the Nostalgia Plus 229/236 hydraulic flat tappet camshaft itself, along with a full set of lifters, valve springs, retainers, valve locks, and valve stem seals. To ensure proper timing, a timing chain set is included, and for flat tappet applications like this one, you'll also get assembly lube. This comprehensive approach means you won't be scrambling for extra parts during your build.

This kit is built for a wide range of Chevrolet GEN 1 Small Block engines, covering displacements from 262 up to 400 cubic inches. While it offers the L79's signature performance, it's important to note that it's intended for engines with flat tappet camshafts. If your engine was built from 1985 or later, especially in Camaros, Firebirds, or Corvettes, it might have a factory roller camshaft, which this kit is not compatible with. Always check your engine's configuration before ordering to ensure a proper fit. This kit is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
