ARP Bolts ARP Ford Small Block 1/2in Undercut 12Pt Head Stud Kit 8740 Chromoly Black Oxide - 254-4703

If you're diving into a build with a Ford Small Block, you’re gonna want to check out this ARP stud kit. Seriously, these aren’t just any fasteners; they’re crafted from 8740 chromoly, which means they’re tough as nails. The black oxide finish isn’t just for looks—it adds a layer of protection against corrosion, so you can trust these studs to hold up under pressure.

Now, let’s talk specifics. This kit features a 1/2-13 thread size, which is pretty standard for a lot of setups. The undercut design of the studs is a nice touch, helping to improve clamping force and ensure everything stays locked in place, even when the engine’s pushing hard. Plus, the 12-point head style makes it easier to get a solid grip when you’re tightening things down—no more slipping and sliding with stubborn fasteners.

What’s great is that this kit comes with washers included, so you won’t have to scramble around looking for the right ones. Just grab this kit and you’re set to go. And don’t worry about cutting anything to fit; it’s ready to roll right out of the box.

So, whether you're rebuilding your engine or just looking to upgrade your fasteners, this ARP stud kit is a solid choice. It’s built for durability and performance, making sure your Ford Small Block runs like a champ.

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.
