ARP Bolts ARP Ford Modular V8 Main Cap-Side Bolt Kit for Late Cast Iron Block - 156-5202

If you're diving into a build with a Ford Modular V8, you’ll want to pay attention to the little things that make a big difference. That's where the 156-5202 ARP Main Cap-Side Bolt Kit comes into play. Designed specifically for the late cast iron block, this kit is a game-changer for anyone looking to beef up their engine's reliability.

First off, let’s talk about the 2-bolt main design. It’s a solid choice for those who want to keep their setup straightforward yet effective. The fasteners are stud-style, which means they’re not just easy to install but also give you a secure fit that you can trust when you’re pushing your engine to its limits.

You’ll appreciate the standard 12-point nuts included in the kit. They’re designed for a snug fit and help prevent slippage during installation, which is crucial when you’re working under the hood. Plus, the yield strength of these fasteners is impressive at 200,000 psi, so you know they can handle some serious torque without breaking a sweat.

Now, if you’re wondering about extras, this kit doesn’t skimp. You get both nuts and washers included, which means you won’t have to run out to the store mid-project. It’s all there, ready to go. Just remember, this kit doesn’t work with a windage tray, so keep that in mind if you’re planning a specific setup.

In short, this kit is sold as a complete package, and it’s perfect for anyone who wants to ensure their V8 is built to last. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a serious racer, these bolts will give you the peace of mind you need when it’s time to hit the road (or the track). Trust me, you’ll want these in your corner.

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.
