If you're diving into the world of high-performance engines, you know that every little detail matters. That’s where the ARP BB Chevy with Iron and Alum Dart Heads 12pt HBK comes into play. These fasteners are crafted from durable chromoly steel, which means they can handle the heat and stress of a serious build without breaking a sweat.

What I really like about these bolts is their 12-point head style. It might seem like a small detail, but trust me, it makes a difference when you're working in tight spaces. You get a solid grip, which means less chance of stripping the head when you're torquing things down. And speaking of torque, these guys are designed to hold up under some serious pressure, so you can run your engine hard without worrying about failure.

They come with a slick black oxide finish that not only looks good but also provides a bit of corrosion resistance. That’s a nice touch, especially if you’re planning on taking your ride out in less-than-ideal weather. Plus, you get washers included, which is always a bonus. No need to hunt around for the right size—everything you need is right there in the box.

Now, I should mention that these aren’t cut-to-fit bolts. They’re designed to fit specific applications, so make sure you know what you’re getting into before you order. But if you’re running iron or aluminum Dart heads, you’re in luck. These fasteners are tailored for that setup, ensuring a snug fit that keeps everything locked down tight.

In short, if you’re serious about building a reliable and powerful engine, you can’t go wrong with these ARP fasteners. They’ve got the strength, the style, and the fit to make your build not just good, but great.

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.
