Description

Product Overview

The ARP Flywheel Bolt Kit is a precision‑engineered set of six high‑strength bolts designed specifically for small block Ford applications. Each bolt is forged from 8740 chromoly steel, a premium alloy known for its exceptional tensile strength and fatigue resistance. The bolts feature a 7/16‑20 UNC thread size, a 3A thread class, and a Grade 10.9 hardness rating, ensuring they can handle the extreme torque demands of high‑performance engines. A durable black‑oxide coating protects the fasteners from corrosion while providing a sleek, professional appearance. The flat head design with a 12‑point hex socket offers easy installation and optimal torque distribution, reducing the risk of bolt stretch or failure. All six bolts are packaged together, providing a complete solution for flywheel installation, replacement, or upgrade projects.
