If you’re diving into a rebuild of your Chrysler 383, 400, 413, 426, or 440, you’ll want to make sure you’ve got the right hardware to hold everything together. This ARP BB Chrysler Head Bolt Kit (part number 145-3606) is a solid choice for anyone looking to boost their engine’s reliability without breaking the bank.

Let’s talk details. These bolts are made from high-strength chromoly steel, so you know they’re tough. The black oxide finish not only looks slick but also helps resist corrosion, which is a big deal if you're pushing your engine hard or if it’s exposed to the elements. And yeah, the head style is hex, which makes installation a breeze—no need to wrestle with weird shapes or tools.

One thing I really appreciate is that ARP includes washers with this kit. It’s the little things that matter, right? You won’t have to hunt around for the right size or worry about whether your old ones are up to the task. Just grab your torque wrench and get to work.

Now, about fitment: this kit is designed specifically for those big-block Chrysler engines. You won’t have to worry about cutting or modifying anything—it’s a straightforward install. Just make sure you’ve got the right setup, and you’re good to go.

In short, if you want to make sure your head gaskets seal up tight and your engine runs like a dream, this ARP head bolt kit is a no-brainer. It’s reliable, easy to install, and fits perfectly with the big-blocks it's meant for. Get your engine built right the first time!

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.
