Edelbrock Perf Plus Cam and Lifters Kit AMC 290-401

When you open this box, you'll find the Edelbrock Performer-Plus camshaft, a set of flat tappet lifters, assembly lube, and installation instructions. This kit is designed specifically for AMC 290-401 V8 engines, aiming to give you a noticeable boost in torque from the low end up through the mid-range. It's a smooth-idling camshaft, making it a solid choice for daily drivers, trucks, vans, and 4x4s that you plan to operate from off-idle up to about 5500 rpm.

Edelbrock engineered this cam to work well with their Performer manifolds, and when paired with the Performer AMC intake manifold #2131 and stock cylinder heads, it produced 275 Ft. Lbs. of torque in testing. You can expect an improved throttle response and a significant increase in torque. The camshaft specifications include an intake duration of 204 degrees and an exhaust duration of 214 degrees, with an intake lift of .448" and an exhaust lift of .472". The lobe separation is set at 110 degrees, and the intake center line is at 105 degrees, which contributes to its smooth idle characteristics.

This kit is a popular choice for AMC V8 owners looking for a reliable performance upgrade. While it's not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California, it offers a substantial improvement for vehicles like the American Motors AMX, Ambassador, or Jeep CJ models from the 1970s and early 80s.
