Product Details

This COMP Cams K-Kit is built around the XR270H hydraulic roller camshaft, featuring a 218-degree intake and 224-degree exhaust duration at .050 lift. This specific grind is designed for high-performance applications and is noted as the largest camshaft that can be used with a stock torque converter, offering a noticeable idle. It’s intended for Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Block engines, covering a wide range of displacements from 262 to 400 cubic inches, but it's crucial to confirm your block is a flat tappet design, as factory roller blocks from 1985 and newer are not compatible. This kit is a comprehensive solution, aiming to provide everything needed for a successful camshaft upgrade.

When you choose this kit, you're getting more than just a camshaft. It includes a full set of hydraulic roller lifters, valve springs, retainers, valve locks, and valve stem seals to ensure proper valve train operation. You'll also find a timing chain set for accurate engine timing, assembly lube for the flat tappet components, and decals for that finishing touch. This approach simplifies the installation process by bundling essential components, reducing the chance of compatibility issues and saving you trips to the parts store. The design aims for improved performance while maintaining a manageable idle characteristic, making it a popular choice for enthusiasts looking to extract more power from their classic Chevy V8.

It's important to note that this kit is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. For 1955-1957 Chevrolet 265 engines, a groove on the 5th cam journal for oiling is required; please contact us for more details. Always refer to the included instructions for specific installation procedures and recommendations to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your new camshaft and valve train components.
