High performance. Biggest cam with stock converter but better with 2000+ stall. Use lower gears. Mild rough idle.
Fits Chevrolet GEN 1 Small Blocks including the 262, 265, 267, 283, 302, 305, 307, 327, 350 and 400. Does not fit LT1/LT4, or factory roller Small Blocks built from 1985 and newer. GM gradually added roller camshafts to 305's and 350's from the mid 80's forward. Camaros/Firebirds/Corvettes received the roller cams early, but many trucks and SUV's had flat tappet cams until the mid 90's. Remove the intake or timing cover to confirm whether the block is a factory roller or flat tappet. Does not fit the LS1, LS2, LS3 or any LS-based 4.8, 5.3, 5.7, 6.0 and 6.2. 1955-1957 Chevrolet 265 engines require a groove on the 5th cam journal for oiling. Contact us for more information.

It is compatible with a wide range of Chevrolet small blocks manufactured before the mid-1980s, excluding LT1, LT4, and later roller cam engines. To ensure proper fitment, remove the intake or timing cover to verify whether the engine block is a factory flat tappet or roller design. This kit does not fit LS-based engines, including LS1, LS2, LS3, or any variants like the 4.8, 5.3, 5.7, 6.0, and 6.2-liter engines.
Please note that engines from 1955-1957 with a 265 cubic inch displacement require a groove on the fifth cam journal for proper oiling. For detailed compatibility and installation guidance, contact our support team. The CS 270H camshaft kit is a reliable choice for restoring or upgrading classic Chevy small blocks, delivering performance improvements suitable for street and mild racing applications. The kit complies with Prop 65 regulations and is intended for off-road use only, requiring acknowledgment of carburetor restrictions during installation.
