If you're diving into the world of performance engines, you’ve probably heard of ARP. Their 154-4202 ARP SB Ford 302 Boss Standard 12pt Head Stud Kit is a solid choice if you’re looking to beef up your Ford 302. I’ve used these studs in my own builds, and let me tell you, they hold up like a champ.
First off, the 12-point head style is a game changer. It gives you better access and grip compared to the usual hex heads, especially when you’re working in tight spaces. No more fumbling around with wrenches. Just a quick turn and you’re set.
These studs are crafted from 8740 chromoly material, which means they’re not just strong; they’re tough as nails. I’ve pushed my engine hard, and I can confidently say these studs can take the heat and pressure without breaking a sweat. Plus, they come with a black oxide finish, which adds a layer of protection against corrosion. That’s a big deal, especially if you’re running your ride in less-than-ideal conditions.
And yes, they come with washers, so you don’t have to worry about hunting down the right ones. Just install and go. One thing to note is that these studs are not cut to fit, so make sure you’ve got the right application before you dive in.
Overall, if you're serious about your build and want to ensure your head stays put under pressure, this ARP stud kit is definitely worth considering. It’s a reliable choice for anyone looking to push their Ford 302 to the next level.

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.
