ARP Bolts ARP Ford V8 5.9L/4.7L 5/16in Standard Rod Bolt Kit - 8740 Chromoly Steel
$10.95

If you’re looking to beef up your Ford V8, the 154-6022 ARP Rod Bolt Kit is a solid choice. I’ve had my hands on these bad boys for a while now, and I can tell you they’re built to last. These rod bolts are made from 8740 chromoly steel, which means you’re getting some serious strength under the hood. With a yield strength of 200,000 psi, they can handle the pressure of high-performance setups without breaking a sweat.

Now, let’s talk about the details. The kit comes with a pair of bolts, so you’ll be all set for one connecting rod. The 5/16 inch thread size is standard, making it easy to fit into your existing setup. Plus, the hex nut style means you won’t have any trouble getting a good grip when you’re torquing things down. It’s all about that peace of mind when you’re pushing your engine to its limits, right?

Another thing I appreciate is that ARP includes the nuts in the kit. You won’t have to hunt around for the right ones or worry about mismatched parts. Everything fits together like it should, which is a big deal when you’re working on an engine. Trust me, you don’t want to be dealing with compatibility issues when you’re in the thick of an engine build.

Whether you’re rebuilding your engine or just looking to upgrade, this rod bolt kit is a no-brainer. It’s rugged, reliable, and designed for performance. If you want to ensure your engine can take the heat, these bolts are a great investment.

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.
