The COMP Cams CB Nostalgia Plus ZL-1 camshaft is designed specifically for Chevrolet 396-454 big block engines from 1965-66 that feature the rear journal oiling groove. Unlike standard camshafts, this model includes a precision-machined oiling groove to ensure optimal lubrication for vintage engine configurations. Its modern lobe design enhances performance and durability, making it a superior upgrade over the original ZL-1 camshaft.
Engineered for classic restoration and high-performance builds, this camshaft maintains compatibility with flat tappet camshaft setups originally equipped on these engines. It is critical to note that the listed part number does not fit models without the oiling groove, so please contact us at 1-800-999-0853 or through our support channels if you require a camshaft with this feature.
The COMP Cams ZL-1 camshaft delivers a blend of nostalgic appeal and modern performance advancements, providing improved valve timing and lift for better power output and throttle response. Built with high-quality materials, it ensures longevity and consistent operation even under demanding conditions. The camshaft’s specifications, including a length of approximately 62.23 inches and weight of around 160 grams, are optimized for easy installation in compatible engines.
Designed for automotive enthusiasts seeking authentic restoration or performance upgrades, this camshaft is a perfect fit for vintage Chevrolet big block engines that retain their original flat tappet configurations. Since it is not carb-approve, professional installation is recommended to ensure optimal performance and compliance with all vehicle requirements. Trust COMP Cams for reliable performance and authentic restoration with this meticulously crafted camshaft that combines vintage styling with modern engineering.
