If you're diving into a restoration project or just looking to upgrade your Ford 289 or 302, you’re going to want to check out this ARP 454-3201 bolt kit. Trust me, these aren’t just any bolts; they’re a solid investment for anyone who values quality and durability. The 12-point head style gives you a bit more grip than your standard hex, which is super handy when you're working in tight spaces or dealing with stubborn fasteners.
What I really like about this kit is the stainless steel construction. It’s not just about looks—though the polished finish does add a nice touch under the hood. Stainless steel means you’re less likely to deal with rust or corrosion, which is a big deal if you’re driving in less-than-ideal weather. You want your engine looking good and performing well, right? Plus, the included washers help ensure a snug fit, so you won’t have to worry about any leaks or loose components.
This kit comes complete with everything you need, and it’s sold as a set, so you can tackle the job without scrambling for missing pieces. If you’re serious about your build, these bolts are a no-brainer. They’ll hold up under pressure and keep your water pump and front cover secure, giving you peace of mind on the road. Whether you're a weekend warrior or a daily driver, these bolts will help keep your ride running smoothly.

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.
