ARP Bolts ARP Ford 351W 12pt Intake Manifold Bolt Kit, 5/16-18, Chromoly, Black Oxide
$32.95

If you’re diving into a project with your Ford 351W, you’ll want to make sure you’ve got the right hardware to keep everything locked down tight. I’ve been through my fair share of intake manifold installations, and trust me, having a reliable set of bolts makes all the difference. That’s where the ARP Ford 351W 12pt Intake Manifold Bolt Kit comes into play.

First off, let’s talk about the thread size. You’re looking at a solid 5/16-18 in. thread, which fits perfectly for the manifold setup. No more worrying about whether you’ve got the right fit—these bolts are designed specifically for your engine, so you can focus on what really matters: getting that beast of an engine running smoothly.

Now, the head style is a 12-point design. This isn’t just for looks; it gives you better grip and torque application. You’ll appreciate that when you’re cranking down those bolts and making sure everything’s snug. Plus, they come with a washer included, so you don’t have to hunt around for the right one. Less hassle, more time spent on the fun stuff!

What’s really cool is the finish. These bolts have a black oxide coating that not only looks sharp but also helps prevent corrosion. If you take your rig off-road or just want to keep it looking good, that’s a big plus. And let’s not forget the material—made from chromoly, these bolts are tough as nails. They can handle the heat and stress of performance driving without breaking a sweat.

So, if you’re looking to upgrade your intake manifold setup, this ARP kit has got your back. It’s built for performance and reliability, and after using it myself, I can confidently say that it’s a solid investment for anyone serious about their Ford 351W. Get ready to hit the road 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.
