COMP Cams Camshaft Kit FS XE256H-10

If you're looking to wake up the performance of your classic Ford small block, this COMP Cams Camshaft Kit is a solid option. This kit is built around the XE256H-10 camshaft, a popular choice for those wanting improved throttle response and a noticeable power bump without going too radical. It's designed for Ford 221, 255, 260, 289, and 302 engines, fitting a wide range of vehicles from Broncos and F-Series trucks to Fairlanes and Mustangs.

The Xtreme Energy XE256H-10 camshaft features a 212 degrees of intake duration and 218 degrees of exhaust duration, with a .477 inch intake lift and .480 inch exhaust lift. This profile offers a good balance of street drivability and performance gains, providing a deeper exhaust note and improved torque across the RPM range. The kit includes not just the camshaft but also the necessary hydraulic lifters, a timing chain set, assembly lube, and decals, making it a comprehensive package for your engine build. This well-built kit is designed to be a direct fit for the specified Ford engines.

When undertaking a camshaft swap, it's always a good idea to have a fresh set of valve springs on hand, as the factory springs may not be up to the task of handling the increased lift. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for detailed installation procedures and any other recommended components.
