Product Details
If you're looking to give your classic Chevrolet Small Block engine the iconic sound and character of the popular L79 camshaft, this Nostalgia Plus kit from COMP Cams is a solid option. It's designed to bring that vintage feel while offering improved performance over stock, making it a great choice for a wide range of Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC vehicles from the 1980s and 90s, like the Camaro, Caprice, and C1500 trucks.
This kit includes the camshaft itself, a set of hydraulic flat tappet lifters, a timing chain set for proper valve timing, and assembly lube to get everything started right. The camshaft features a 229/236 degree duration at .050 lift with a .462/.462 lift profile, designed to provide a noticeable bump in power and torque while maintaining that desirable L79 idle note. It's built for engines that use a flat tappet valvetrain, so be sure to check your block's configuration before ordering, as some later models switched to roller cams.
When installing this kit, remember to verify your engine's specific requirements, especially for early 1955-1957 Chevrolet 265 engines which need a groove on the 5th journal for oiling. This kit is a comprehensive way to update your engine's performance and sound profile.
