$90.95

If you're looking to beef up the bottom end of your 1997 Ford with a 2.0L Zetec engine, this ARP main stud kit is a solid choice. It's all about reliability and strength here, and ARP doesn't mess around when it comes to quality. Let’s break it down a bit.

  • Main Bolt Style: This kit uses a 2-bolt design, which is pretty standard but effective for keeping everything nice and tight.
  • Fastener Style: You’ve got studs here, which means installation is straightforward. Just bolt them in, and you’re good to go.
  • Fastener Nut Style: The standard hex nuts are included, so you don’t need to hunt down any special tools or parts to get this set up.
  • Windage Tray Compatibility: Just a heads-up, this kit doesn’t work with a windage tray. If that’s something you’re planning on using, you might want to look elsewhere.
  • Fastener Yield Strength: These studs can handle a whopping 200,000 psi. That’s some serious strength, making it perfect for those who want to push their engine a bit harder without worrying about it falling apart.
  • Nuts Included: Yep, you get the nuts with the kit, so you won’t find yourself scrambling to make a last-minute trip to the hardware store.
  • Washers Included: Washers are in the box too, which is always a nice touch. It’s the little things that can make a big difference in a build.

In short, if you’re planning on cranking up the power on your Zetec, this ARP main stud kit is a no-brainer. It’s built to last and designed to keep your engine solid under pressure. Perfect for those who like to push their rides a bit harder while keeping everything secure and reliable.

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.
