SBF 289/302 Solid Cam - N+271S

The SBF 289/302 Solid Cam - N+271S by COMP CAMS is a mechanical flat tappet camshaft engineered for small block Ford engines seeking reliable, street-friendly performance. This Nostalgia Plus profile delivers balanced lift and duration characteristics designed for enthusiasts and restoration builders who prioritize dependable throttle response without sacrificing classic engine character. Whether you're rebuilding a vintage 289 or 302 cubic inch power plant or upgrading an existing engine package, this solid cam provides the mechanical simplicity and proven durability that traditional Ford engine builders trust.

Featuring symmetric lift specifications of 0.495 inches on both intake and exhaust valves, the SBF 289/302 Solid Cam delivers predictable valve actuation across a 262-degree intake and 269-degree exhaust duration window at 0.050-inch lift. The 112-degree lobe separation angle (LSA) optimizes overlap characteristics and torque delivery across the 2200 to 6800 RPM operating range. Designed as a mechanical flat tappet design, this camshaft requires no hydraulic compensation, making it ideal for high-heat environments and sustained performance driving. The solid construction ensures minimal deflection under load while maintaining precise valve timing repeatability throughout the engine's service life.

This camshaft is specifically engineered for small block Ford applications, including 289 cubic inch and 302 cubic inch variants commonly found in Mustangs, Falcons, and other classic Ford vehicles. Installation requires proper flat tappet lifter selection and valve train geometry verification to ensure correct pushrod length and rocker arm geometry. Buyers should verify their specific engine block and cylinder head combination before purchase, as camshaft selection significantly impacts fuel mixture requirements, ignition timing, and overall drivability. The N+271S profile suits street machines, show cars, and restoration projects where authenticity and reliability matter equally.
