If you're diving into some serious upgrades for your Ford, you might want to check out the ARP 150-7401 12pt Thermostat Housing Bolt Kit. These aren't your run-of-the-mill bolts; they’re crafted from tough chromoly, so you know they can handle the heat—literally. The black oxide finish not only looks slick but also adds a layer of protection against corrosion, which is a nice touch for those of us who like to take our rides out in all kinds of weather.

Now, let’s talk specifics. The underhead length is about 0.875 inches, which means these bolts fit snugly without any fuss. And with that 12-point head style, you’ll find it easier to get a good grip when you're tightening things down. No more rounded-off heads when you’re wrenching on your engine!

Each kit comes as a complete set, so you won’t be scrambling to find extras when you’re in the middle of a project. Whether you're swapping out a thermostat or just giving your engine bay a little love, these bolts are a solid choice. Plus, they’re designed specifically for Ford applications, so you can trust they’ll fit right in without any hassle.

Overall, if you're looking to beef up your setup with some reliable hardware, this ARP kit is a great investment. It’s all about the details, and these bolts will keep your thermostat housing secure and leak-free. Get ready to tackle that project with confidence!

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.
