ARP Bolts ARP SB Ford 3/8-16 12pt Header Stud Kit, 1.670in Steel, Black Oxide Finish - 100-1404

If you're diving into a project with your SB Ford, you know that the little things can make a big difference. That's where the 100-1404 ARP SB Ford Header Stud Kit comes into play. These studs are designed with some serious thought behind them, and trust me, they’re not just your average fasteners.

First off, the stud style is a game changer. With a 3/8-16 thread size, these babies fit snugly and securely, ensuring you won’t have to worry about any leaks or loose headers when you’re pushing that engine to its limits. The 12-point head style is a nice touch too. It gives you better grip and torque application, which is something you really appreciate when you’re tightening everything down.

Now, let's talk about the material. These studs are made from solid steel, so you know they’re built to last. They come with a black oxide finish which not only looks sleek but also adds a layer of protection against rust and corrosion. That’s especially important if you’re working in less-than-ideal conditions or just want your build to look sharp.

With an overall length of 1.670 inches, these studs fit perfectly in the tight spaces of your engine bay. I’ve used these on my own builds, and I can vouch for how they hold up under pressure. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a full-time gearhead, having reliable hardware like this can save you a lot of headaches down the road.

So, if you’re looking to upgrade or replace your header studs, don’t overlook these ARP ones. They’re tough, reliable, and they get the job done right.

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.
