Product Details

When you're looking to get more out of your Ford Big Block, this camshaft kit from COMP Cams is a solid option. What you get in this kit is a camshaft, lifters, a timing chain set, assembly lube, decals, and instructions. This specific kit, the XE256H-10, is designed for Ford's 429 and 460 engines, often referred to as the 385 Series or Big Block Ford (BBF). It's built to give you a noticeable boost in torque through the low end and mid-range of your RPM band, while still maintaining a good, manageable idle. This makes it a popular choice for street-driven vehicles that need more grunt for acceleration or towing.

The Xtreme Energy series camshafts are known for their aggressive lobe profiles, which help to open the valves sooner and keep them open longer, contributing to that improved torque. The included hydraulic lifters are designed to work with this camshaft's profile, ensuring proper valve operation without requiring constant adjustment. The timing chain set is crucial for keeping your camshaft and crankshaft synchronized, and having a new one with a camshaft upgrade is always a good idea for reliability. COMP Cams also includes assembly lube to help protect the new components during initial startup, which is a critical phase for any new camshaft installation.

This kit fits a wide range of Ford and Mercury vehicles from the late 1960s through the mid-1990s, including models like the Ford F-250, Mercury Marquis, and Lincoln Continental. It's a comprehensive package that bundles the essential components for a camshaft upgrade, simplifying the process for you. Remember to consult the included instructions for proper installation procedures, as camshaft swaps can be involved and require attention to detail for optimal performance and engine longevity.
