ARP Bolts ARP BB Chevy 3/8 x 1.670 Stainless Steel Header Stud Kit 12-Point - 400-1403

If you're diving into a BB Chevy build, you know that every little detail counts. That’s why I’m a big fan of the ARP BB Chevy 3/8 x 1.670 SS Header Stud Kit. These header studs are more than just a pretty face; they’re built to last with stainless steel that has a polished finish. Trust me, you want that kind of durability under the hood.

Now, let’s talk specifics. The studs come in a 3/8-16 thread size, which fits perfectly for most applications, making installation a breeze. The 12-point head style means you get a solid grip when you're tightening them down, reducing the chance of slipping and stripping. And with an overall length of 1.670 inches, they’re just the right size for a snug fit without any fuss.

What I love about these studs is their reliability. When you’re pushing your engine to the limit, the last thing you want is a failure at the header connection. These ARP studs are designed to handle the heat and pressure, ensuring that your exhaust system stays tight and leak-free. Plus, the polished finish not only looks sharp but also helps resist corrosion, which is crucial if you’re taking your ride out in the elements.

So, if you’re looking to upgrade your header setup, give these ARP studs a shot. They’ve served me well, and I’m sure they’ll do the same for you. It’s all about those little upgrades that make a big difference in performance and reliability.

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.
