ARP Bolts ARP 134-6003 SB Chevy 305-350 Rod Bolt Kit, 8740 Chromoly Steel, Set of 16 - 134-6003

If you're diving into a build or just looking to beef up your engine, the ARP SB Chevy 305-307-350-409 Rod Bolt Kit is a solid choice. Trust me, I've been around the block with these parts, and they really do make a difference. This kit is designed for those who want to push their small block Chevy to the next level without cutting corners.

First off, let's talk about the connecting rods. They come from a reputable stock manufacturer, so you know you're not dealing with some off-brand knockoff. The cap retention is done with a through-bolt style, which means you get that added peace of mind when you're revving high. Nobody wants to worry about their rods flying off mid-ride.

Now, the rod bolts themselves are made from 8740 chromoly steel. If you're not familiar, that's some tough stuff—capable of handling a yield strength of 200,000 psi. That means these bolts can take a serious beating, making them perfect for both daily drivers and those weekend warriors who like to push their limits.

Included in the kit are nuts that are hex-style, so you can easily get a good grip when you're tightening everything down. And speaking of kits, this one comes with a full set of 16 bolts, which is just what you need for a complete engine setup. No need to hunt around for extra parts or worry about mismatched components.

In short, if you're serious about your build and want something that’s going to hold up under pressure, this rod bolt kit is a no-brainer. It’s reliable, sturdy, and designed with performance in mind. Trust me, once you’ve got these bad boys in your engine, you’ll feel the difference.

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.
