Product Details

If you're looking to get more power out of your 1985 Ford LTD, especially for street machine applications, this COMP Cams Camshaft Kit is a solid choice. This kit is designed to wake up your engine, offering its best performance above 3500 RPM while still providing good torque down low. It's engineered to be the largest hydraulic roller cam that works well with stock heads and intake manifolds, making it a popular upgrade for those wanting a significant power boost without a complete engine overhaul.

This SK-Kit, part number SK35-440-8, comes with everything you need to get the job done: the camshaft itself, a set of lifters, a complete timing chain set, assembly lube to ensure proper break-in, and even some decals and instructions. The camshaft features a 220/220 duration with a hydraulic roller design, which is known for its efficiency and ability to handle higher RPMs. Expect a mild, rough idle with this setup, which is characteristic of performance cams designed for increased airflow and power. For optimal performance, a 2000+ stall torque converter is recommended to keep the engine in its power band during acceleration.

While this kit offers a notable increase in power, it's important to note that it is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. This is a well-built kit from COMP Cams, a well-known name in performance engine components, and it's designed to give your Ford 5.0L engine a serious performance edge for street use.
