ARP Bolts ARP Ford Modular 4.6/5.4L 3 Valve 12-Point Head Stud Kit, Black Oxide Finish - 256-4202

If you're diving into the world of Ford Modular engines, specifically the 4.6 or 5.4L 3 Valve, you’ll want to check out the 256-4202 ARP Head Stud Kit. This isn't just any head stud kit; it’s crafted with the kind of precision that makes a difference when you're pushing your engine to the limits.

First off, let’s talk about the fastener style. These are stud fasteners, which means you get a solid, reliable connection that can handle some serious torque. No undercut stud nonsense here—just straight-up strength where you need it. The 12-point head style is a game changer, allowing for better grip and easier access in tighter spaces. You’ll appreciate that when you’re elbow-deep in an engine bay.

What really sets this kit apart is the material. Made from ARP2000, these studs are designed to withstand high-stress situations without breaking a sweat. Plus, they come with a sleek black oxide finish that not only looks good but helps resist corrosion over time. That’s a win in my book.

And don’t worry about the little things—washers are included, so you won’t have to run out to the store for those last-minute parts. Just keep in mind that this kit isn’t cut to fit, which means you’ll need to make sure it’s compatible with your setup before diving in.

Overall, if you’re serious about performance and reliability in your Ford Modular engine, this ARP head stud kit is a solid choice. It’s built for those who know what they’re doing and want to get the most out of their ride.

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.
