ARP Bolts Head Stud Kit for SB Chevy with Pontiac Brodix Raised Head, 8740 Chromoly
$257.95

If you're diving into the world of performance engines, you know that the right components can make all the difference. Take the ARP SB Chevy w/Pontiac Brodix Raised Head Head Stud Kit, for instance. This isn’t just any head stud kit; it’s built for serious power and reliability. The first thing you'll notice is the 12-point head style. It’s designed for better grip and easier installation, which is a godsend when you're working in tight spaces or just trying to get everything aligned perfectly.

Now, let’s talk materials. These studs are made from 8740 chromoly, which is a fancy way of saying they’re incredibly strong and durable. They can handle the high pressures and temperatures that come with serious performance builds. Plus, the black oxide finish not only looks sleek but also adds a layer of protection against rust and wear. You want your engine to look good and last, right?

Another nice touch is that washers are included in the kit. It’s those little details that save you a trip to the hardware store when you’re in the middle of a build. And while this kit isn’t cut to fit, it’s designed specifically for the Pontiac Brodix raised head, so you know it’s going to fit like a glove. No need to worry about compatibility issues here.

In short, if you're serious about your engine build and want something that can take the heat, this ARP head stud kit is worth considering. It’s built for performance, and you can trust it to hold everything together when you’re pushing your engine to its limits.

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.
