The Ford 289-302 Cam & Lifter Kit 270H with 832-16 lifters from COMP CAMS is a complete hydraulic flat tappet camshaft system engineered for small-block Ford engine builds seeking reliable mid-range power and smooth idle characteristics. This kit combines a precision-ground camshaft with matched lifters, eliminating guesswork during engine assembly and ensuring proper valve timing and lift geometry. Whether you're rebuilding a classic 289 or 302 Ford engine for street use, light performance, or restoration, this cam and lifter combination delivers the foundational valve actuation needed for consistent, predictable engine behavior.
The 270H profile delivers 0.500 inches of lift on both intake and exhaust valves, with a 270-degree duration at 0.050-inch tappet rise and a 110-degree lobe separation angle that optimizes overlap for efficient breathing across a broad RPM band. The hydraulic flat tappet design automatically compensates for thermal expansion and mechanical wear, eliminating manual lash adjustment and reducing complexity in high-mileage or frequently driven engines. The included 832-16 lifters are precision-manufactured to exacting tolerances, ensuring consistent valve seating and minimal noise. This duration and lift combination produces usable torque from 1,800 to 5,800 RPM, making it ideal for street cruisers and moderate performance applications where reliability and drivability matter as much as horsepower.
Builders restoring 289 or 302 small-block Ford engines benefit from this bolt-together kit format, which saves time during assembly and reduces the risk of mixing incompatible components. The 270H profile suits street-driven vehicles, vintage hot rods, and muscle car restorations where smooth idle quality and predictable mid-range power are essential. Installation requires standard camshaft timing tools and proper break-in procedures; always use a quality break-in oil with zinc and phosphorus additives to protect flat tappet surfaces during the critical first hours of engine operation. Verify compatibility with your specific cylinder head casting and confirm pushrods are the correct length before assembly.
