COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CS XE268H-10

COMP Cams is a well-known name in performance engine parts, and this Xtreme Energy camshaft kit is a prime example of their work. This kit is designed for Chevrolet Small Block Gen 1 engines, offering an improved camshaft profile for street machines. It's a popular choice for those looking to get more out of their engine, especially when paired with a stock converter or a 2000+ stall converter for better performance.

This isn't just a camshaft; it's a complete K-Kit designed to make your engine build smoother. Inside, you'll find the camshaft itself, along with hydraulic lifters, valve springs, retainers, valve locks, and valve stem seals. It also includes a timing chain set to ensure precise valve timing. For flat tappet applications, assembly lube is included, along with decals and instructions to guide you through the installation. This kit is intended for a wide range of Chevrolet Small Block engines, including popular displacements like the 350, 327, and 400 cubic inch variants. It's important to note that this kit is designed for flat tappet camshafts and does not fit factory roller small blocks from 1985 and newer, nor does it fit LT1/LT4 or LS-based engines.

When considering this kit, remember that while it's a great upgrade for street machines, its performance characteristics are best utilized with a suitable torque converter. For engines like the 1955-1957 Chevrolet 265, a specific oiling groove on the 5th cam journal is required, so check your engine's specifications. This kit is a solid option for anyone looking to enhance their classic Chevy's performance, providing all the necessary components for a comprehensive camshaft upgrade.
