ARP 134-0901 Bellhousing Bolt Kit, Black

Description

Product Overview

The ARP 134-0901 Bellhousing Bolt Kit is engineered for high‑performance automotive applications, delivering a complete set of eight precision‑machined bolts that combine strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. Constructed from premium alloy steel, each bolt is heat‑treated to achieve a maximum shear strength of 170 ksi (1172 MPa), ensuring they can withstand the extreme torque and stress encountered in performance engines. The bolts feature a fully threaded 10 mm (0.393 in) diameter with a coarse thread class, providing a secure and consistent fit that eliminates the risk of loosening under high‑rpm conditions.

Finishing the bolts is a black painted coating that not only offers an attractive appearance but also adds an extra layer of protection against rust and wear. This finish is especially beneficial for engines that operate in harsh environments or are exposed to moisture and road salts. The hex head design allows for easy installation with standard tools, reducing the time required for assembly and ensuring a tight, reliable connection every time.

Designed specifically for GM LS‑series engines, this bolt kit replaces the OEM fasteners with a superior aftermarket solution that meets or exceeds factory specifications. The kit includes all necessary components for a complete bellhousing installation, making it an ideal choice for engine rebuilds, performance upgrades, and racing builds where reliability and precision are paramount.

Usage

This bolt kit is suited for a wide range of applications, from daily drivers to track‑focused builds. Whether you are installing a new LS engine into a classic chassis, performing a complete engine overhaul, or upgrading to a higher‑output configuration, the ARP bellhousing bolts provide the confidence that the connection will hold under demanding conditions. The fully threaded design ensures that the bolts can be torqued to the exact specifications required by the engine manufacturer, delivering consistent clamping force across the entire bellhousing interface.

Mechanics and enthusiasts alike will appreciate the straightforward installation process. The hex head allows for the use of common socket wrenches, eliminating the need for specialized tools. Additionally, the black oxide finish reduces glare and helps keep the fasteners clean during assembly, which is particularly useful in high‑performance environments where visibility and cleanliness are critical.

Beyond automotive use, the robust construction of these bolts makes them suitable for other high‑stress applications such as marine engines, industrial equipment, and custom fabrication projects where a reliable, high‑strength fastener is required.
