If you're diving into a project that involves the bellhousing and transmission, you’ll want to check out the ARP 1/2in Dia 12pt Bellhousing to Trans Stud Kit. This isn't just any kit—it's built for serious performance and durability.

First off, the thread size is a solid 1/2-13, which means it’s going to fit snugly and hold everything in place like it should. The studs are 2.750 inches long, giving you enough length to work with, whether you're bolting up a new transmission or just swapping out the old one. You’ll appreciate the attention to detail here.

What’s really nice is that ARP includes nuts and washers in the kit. The nuts are 12-point, which not only looks good but also provides a better grip for your wrench. No more slipping around when you’re trying to tighten things up. And those washers? They help distribute the load evenly, which is crucial for keeping everything secure under pressure.

Now, let’s talk materials. These fasteners are made from chromoly, which is known for its strength and resistance to wear. You won’t have to worry about these studs bending or breaking when you’re putting your ride through its paces. Plus, they come with a black oxide finish, which not only looks sleek but also helps prevent corrosion. You want your parts to last, and this finish is a step in the right direction.

The Story Behind ARP Bolts

ARP (Automotive Racing Products) was founded by Gary Holzapfel in 1968 when he noticed his drag-racing friends succumbing to bolt-induced engine failure as a result of poor-quality fasteners. He drew upon his expertise in the aerospace industry to develop a solution, which turned into a successful business nonetheless. 

Since its inception, ARP has been engineering and perfecting a wide range of bolts, studs, nuts, and other fasteners for engines, cylinder heads, headers, wheels, and transmissions. Today, ARP remains the undisputed world leader in automotive fasteners. Racing aficionados everywhere know and recognize the ARP brand and can vouch for its quality.

What Makes ARP Bolts So Special?

Located in Ventura, California, all ARP processes from raw wire to finished fasteners are conducted in-house, right here in the USA. The company continually improves its processes with strict quality control guidelines and is dedicated to producing products that are second to none. Simply put, ARP Bolts are better than the competition because of their quality materials and advanced processes. 

ARP prides itself on using only top-quality materials that are above the usual “aerospace-grade” quality that other manufacturers settle for. For example, while 8740 Chromoly steel has four different grades, ARP only uses the top two, SDF and CHQ. These grades cost twice as much as the lower commercial and aircraft grades, but deliver “zero defect” quality that you can trust each and every time.

ARP Bolts are built to withstand serious racing, possess greater tensile strengths, and can survive higher stress levels than most aircraft fasteners. ARP is dedicated to creating fasteners that boast ultimate strength and durability to ensure they last race after race. Its product lineup ranges from quality high-performance OEM parts to exotic specialty hardware for IndyCar, NASCAR, NHRA drag racing, Formula 1, and even marine applications.
