ARP Bolts Ford Modular V8 Main Cap-Side Bolt Kit for Late Aluminum Block, 4-Bolt Design
$68.45

Hey there, fellow gearheads! If you're diving into a project with a Ford Modular V8, let me tell you about this ARP Main Cap-Side Bolt kit. It’s designed specifically for those late aluminum blocks—so you know it’s going to fit like a glove.

  • Main Bolt Style: This bad boy comes in a solid 4-bolt pattern. It’s a classic setup that’s been proven time and again.
  • Fastener Style: We’re talking about stud fasteners here. They’re reliable and make the job a lot easier when you’re torquing things down.
  • Fastener Nut Style: You get standard 12-point nuts, which are way better for grip than your average hex. Trust me, you’ll appreciate that when you’re wrenching.
  • Works with Windage Tray: Just a heads-up—this kit doesn’t play nice with windage trays. If you've got one, you might need to rethink your setup.
  • Fastener Yield Strength: These bolts are tough, with a yield strength of 200,000 psi. That means they can handle the pressure, whether you're building a daily driver or a track beast.
  • Nuts Included: Yep, you get nuts with this kit. No extra trips to the store!
  • Washers Included: And yes, washers too. It’s all about making sure everything stays snug and secure.
  • Quantity: This is sold as a complete kit, so you’re all set to get that engine bolted down right.

So if you're looking to beef up your engine setup, this ARP kit is a solid choice. It’s built for the long haul, and you’ll appreciate the quality when you’re under the hood. 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.
