COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CS XR264HR-12

If you're looking to get more out of your Chevrolet Small Block GEN 1 engine, especially in a marine application like an inboard/outboard pleasure boat or for skiing, this COMP Cams Camshaft Kit is a solid option. This kit is designed to offer a good balance of improved performance and fuel economy, making it a versatile choice for a range of uses. It's built around the XR264HR-12 camshaft, which features a 212/218 degree duration and hydraulic roller lifters for smoother operation and reduced wear compared to flat tappet designs.

This SK-Kit, part number SK12-416-8, comes with everything you need to get the job done right. You'll find the camshaft itself, a set of hydraulic roller lifters, a new timing chain set to ensure your engine's timing is spot on, assembly lube to help with installation, and even some decals and instructions. This comprehensive package means you won't be scrambling for essential components during your build. The kit is specifically designed for Chevrolet GEN 1 Small Blocks, covering a wide range of displacements from 262 up to 400 cubic inches. It's important to note that this kit is intended for blocks that originally used flat tappet camshafts; it will not fit factory roller blocks from 1985 and newer, nor will it fit LT1/LT4 or LS-based engines.

For those working on classic Chevrolet engines found in vehicles like the Chevrolet C10, Camaro, Corvette, or Caprice, or even in marine applications, this kit offers a significant upgrade. The extended description mentions its suitability for pleasure boat and skiing applications, highlighting its broad usability. Remember to verify your engine's configuration to ensure it's a flat tappet block before ordering, as this kit is designed to replace those systems and unlock improved performance and efficiency.
