COMP Cams Camshaft Kit FW XE274HR-12

When you're ready to dig into your Ford 5.0L Windsor engine, this COMP Cams SK-Kit gives you the core components to get started. Inside this box, you'll find the XE274HR-12 camshaft itself, a set of hydraulic roller lifters, a complete timing chain set, assembly lube to help with the installation, and even some decals and instructions to guide you through the process. This kit is designed to wake up your engine, offering improved throttle response and more power up top compared to similar kits, all while increasing engine vacuum.

The XE274HR-12 camshaft is a popular choice for Ford 5.0L engines, especially when you're looking to get more out of your setup. It's a hydraulic roller cam, which generally means less friction and more efficiency than older flat-tappet designs. For this cam to really shine, COMP Cams suggests you'll want a stall speed around 2500 RPM, gears in the 3.55 to 3.73 range, and supporting upgrades like better cylinder heads, an improved intake manifold, and a more robust fuel system. This combination will help you unlock the full potential of the cam's aggressive ramp rates and duration.

This kit fits a wide range of Ford and Mercury vehicles from the mid-80s through the mid-90s, including popular models like the Ford Mustang, F-150, and Mercury Grand Marquis. It's a solid option for anyone looking to build a more potent street-driven Ford V8. Just remember, this kit is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
