ARP Bolts ARP Ford 460 385 Series 2-Bolt Main Stud Kit with Nuts and Washers
$103.45

If you’re diving into a build with a Ford 460c.i.d. engine, you’ll want to pay attention to the little things that make a big difference. That’s where the 255-5502 ARP 385 Series 2-Bolt Main Stud Kit comes in. I’ve used these studs on my own projects, and let me tell you, they’re a game changer.

First off, the 2-bolt main style is perfect for those looking to beef up their engine's bottom end without going overboard. The stud fastener style ensures a secure fit, and if you’ve ever dealt with a loose main cap, you know how important that is. Plus, these guys come with standard hex nuts, which makes installation a breeze—no fancy tools required.

One of the coolest features is that it works seamlessly with a windage tray. If you’re pushing your engine hard, having that extra protection from oil slosh can really save your bearings. And speaking of strength, these studs boast a yield strength of 200,000 psi. That’s some serious durability right there, perfect for high-performance applications.

What’s in the box? Well, you’re not just getting the studs. This kit comes complete with nuts and washers, so you won’t have to scramble to find the right parts. It’s sold as a kit, which is a relief when you’re in the thick of a build and just want everything to work together without a hitch.

In short, if you’re serious about your Ford 460 engine and want to ensure it can handle the power you’re throwing at it, this ARP stud kit is a solid investment. Trust me, it’s one of those upgrades you won’t regret making.

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.
