If you’re diving into a project with your BB Ford 429-460, you’ll want to make sure you’ve got the right fasteners to hold everything together. That’s where the ARP 555-9501 12-Point Stainless Steel Fastener Kit comes into play. This isn’t just any set of bolts; it’s a carefully curated collection designed specifically for the 385-Series engines.
First off, let’s talk about the material. These fasteners are made from polished stainless steel, which not only looks great under the hood but also offers superior resistance to corrosion. That means you won’t have to worry about rust creeping in and causing issues down the line. Plus, the 12-point head style gives you a solid grip, making it easier to torque them down properly without slipping.
Now, this kit covers all the bases. You’re getting fasteners for the intake manifold, valve covers, timing cover, oil pan, headers, water pump, fuel pump, and even the water neck. Each piece is included to ensure you have everything you need to keep your engine securely assembled. And if you’re like me, you appreciate not having to make an extra trip to the hardware store halfway through your build.
One feature I really like is that they’ve included the distributor clamp bolt as well. It’s the little things that can trip you up during a project, and having all the right bolts at your fingertips makes the process a lot smoother.
Overall, this fastener kit is a solid investment for anyone looking to rebuild or upgrade their BB Ford. It’s built to last, looks sharp, and gives you the peace of mind that everything is going to stay put under some serious horsepower. Whether you’re hitting the track or just cruising around, you’ll want these fasteners holding your engine together.

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.
