Industry-leading fastener manufacturer ARP — which currently has over 80 head stud kits to cover the myriad BBC block / head combinations — strives to cover the many new offerings and has recently introduced kits designed for use with Dart Pro 20 °, Edelbrock Big Victor 12 ° and Big Victor 24 ° aluminum cylinder heads .
Manufactured from premium grade 8740 steel and heat-treated to 190,000 psi tensile strength , they are ideally suited for many engine combinations .

They are far superior to factory hardware and can provide additional clamping force with an extra margin of safety .
Like all ARP fasteners , they are totally manufactured in-house at the company ’ s California facilities to the industry ’ s most stringent standards . Founded in 1968 , ARP remains family owned and operated .
