PFA Aston Martin Vantage C Type Inlet Camshaft for 6 Cylinder Engines

Aston Martin Factory Vantage “C Type” VC Camshaft

Unlock genuine factory-specified performance in your classic Aston Martin 6-cylinder engine using our brand-new Vantage “C Type” VC Camshaft. We engineer this definitive period factory “go-faster” upgrade, cast from a premium chilled iron blank, to deliver enhanced power delivery while maintaining the durability of a cast-iron valvetrain.

Product Overview

During the classic era, the “C Type” VC profile served as the ultimate factory performance option. By utilizing a durable cast-iron blank rather than steel, this camshaft ensures exceptional longevity and wear compatibility with traditional lifters. Consequently, it protects your valvetrain over thousands of miles of spirited driving.

• Expert Insight: While many specialists will imply that two new specialty camshafts are required for a Vantage conversion, in actual fact, the exhaust cam is simply a standard camshaft timed in a different position to complement the application of the C-type Vantage inlet camshaft.

• Vehicle Compatibility: Suitable as a period performance update for any classic Aston Martin 6-cylinder engine (non-Vantage options), including:

  • Aston Martin DB4

  • Aston Martin DB5

  • Aston Martin DB6 & DB6 Mk2

  • Aston Martin DBS6

• Exclusions: Please note: This camshaft is not applicable to GT engines.

• Material: Cast on a brand-new, high-quality chilled iron blank for maximum longevity.

• Cross-Reference & Supersessions: Direct replacement for original factory part number 68-07-101, which supersedes the earlier VA (63-07-111) and VB camshaft profiles, the standard SU (20-07-111) camshaft, and the emissions-restricted DBS6 camshaft (71-50-004).

Why Choose Our Vantage “C Type” Camshaft?

Upgrading a standard-specification classic Aston Martin engine to the factory Vantage “C Type” profile remains one of the most effective ways to wake up a 3.7 or 4.0-litre 6-cylinder powerplant. Because we cast this on a brand-new chilled iron blank, you avoid the risks of worn lobes or improper hardening common with reground original shafts. Furthermore, when paired with our matching valvetrain components—such as our EN24T Tuftrided valve spring kits, caps, and seats—this camshaft restores correct geometry, reliable lift, and authentic vintage performance.
