ARP Bolts ARP SBC Vortec Intake Manifold Bolt Kit, 5/16-18, Chromoly, Black Oxide Finish - 134-2002

If you’re diving into a build with a small block Chevy, you’re going to want to check out the ARP SBC Vortec Intake Manifold Bolt Kit. This isn’t just any bolt kit; it’s designed for those who really care about the details of their engine setup. The thread size of 5/16-18 means these bad boys are going to fit snugly where you need them, ensuring that your intake manifold stays put under all those horsepower demands.

One of the things I really appreciate is that the kit comes with washers included. You know how easy it is to misplace those tiny parts, right? With this kit, you’re ready to roll without having to make a last-minute run to the hardware store. Plus, the hex head style makes it easy to get a good grip on them, whether you’re using a wrench or a socket. No stripped heads here—just solid, reliable fastening.

Now, let’s talk materials. These bolts are made from chromoly, which is a step up from your standard steel. It’s tougher, more durable, and can handle the heat and stress of a high-performance engine without breaking a sweat. And the black oxide finish? Not just for looks; it helps prevent rust and corrosion, so you can trust these bolts to hold up over time, even in less-than-ideal conditions.

This kit is sold as a complete package, which means you’re not piecing things together from different sources. Everything you need is right here, ready to make your installation smooth and straightforward. If you’re serious about getting the most out of your Vortec setup, these bolts are a solid investment. They’re built for enthusiasts who know that the right components make all the difference in performance and reliability.

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.
