COMP Cams Camshaft Kit FW 286H-R10

When you're looking to get more out of your 1985 Ford LTD's engine, this COMP Cams Camshaft Kit K35-450-8 is a comprehensive package designed for street and strip applications. What you get in this kit is everything you need to swap out your camshaft and related components: the camshaft itself, a set of lifters, valve springs, retainers, valve locks, valve stem seals, a timing chain set, and even assembly lube specifically for flat tappet applications, along with decals and instructions. This is a complete solution to upgrade your engine's valvetrain.

This kit features the Magnum 230/230 hydraulic roller camshaft, which is a popular choice for those building a Ford 5.0L engine for performance. It's designed to work well with a 5-speed manual transmission or a torque converter with a stall speed of 2500 RPM or higher, and it pairs best with 4.10 or lower rear end gears. For optimal performance, it's recommended to have aftermarket intake and exhaust systems in place, along with higher compression. The hydraulic roller design means less friction and more efficient operation compared to older flat tappet designs, contributing to improved performance and durability.

This kit is a solid option if you're aiming for a noticeable improvement in your engine's power band, especially in the mid to upper RPM range. Remember that this kit is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always refer to the included instructions for proper installation and break-in procedures to ensure the longevity of your new valvetrain components.
