ARP Bolts ARP Ford Modular Boss 5.0L Main Side Bolt Kit 2012-2013 Mustang 4-Bolt
$59.95

If you're diving into a project with your 2012-2013 Ford Mustang, you might want to take a closer look at this ARP Main Side Bolt Kit. Trust me, it’s not just another set of bolts; it’s a solid upgrade that can make a difference in your build.

First off, let’s talk about the basics. This kit features a 4-bolt main style which is pretty standard for the Boss 5.0L engines. If you’re planning to push your Mustang to its limits, you’ll appreciate the fastener yield strength of 200,000 psi. That means these bolts are tough enough to handle the stress of high-performance applications without flinching.

Now, I know what you’re thinking—do I need nuts for these bolts? Nope, they don’t come with nuts, but they do include washers, which is a nice touch. Just make sure you have the right nuts on hand to complete the setup. And just a heads up, this kit does not work with a windage tray, so if that’s something you’re considering, you’ll need to look elsewhere.

Sold as a kit, it’s designed specifically for the Ford Modular Boss 5.0L engines, so you can be confident it’ll fit just right. Customers have found that it pairs well with their builds, especially when they’re looking to enhance durability without compromising on performance. If you’re running a stock setup or something a bit more aggressive, these bolts are a reliable choice.

So, if you’re ready to get your hands dirty and take your Mustang to the next level, this ARP Main Side Bolt Kit is a solid investment. It’s all about that peace of mind when you’re pushing your ride hard. Happy wrenching!

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.
