ARP Cylinder Head Bolt Kit for Ford 351 Windsor with Factory Heads or Edelbrock 60259/60379 154-3603

This ARP cylinder head bolt kit delivers precise clamping force for Ford 351 Windsor engines equipped with factory OEM heads or Edelbrock Performer RPM heads part numbers 60259 left and 60379 right. Rated at 180000 PSI tensile strength these bolts outperform Grade 8 hardware by 15 percent ensuring head gasket integrity under high boost and RPM. Kits include all necessary bolts and hardened parallel ground washers for complete installation.

Key Features

  • 8740 Chrome Moly Construction: Forged from high strength 8740 chromoly steel for superior fatigue resistance in performance applications
  • 180000 PSI Tensile Strength: Provides 15 percent more clamping power than Grade 8 bolts to maintain seal on high compression builds
  • Black Oxide Finish: Resists corrosion and reduces friction during installation for accurate torque values
  • Wide Area Flanged Heads: Allow retorquing without removing valve train components saving time on maintenance
  • Hardened Washers Included: Parallel ground washers distribute load evenly preventing head damage and ensuring uniform torque

Product Notes

ARP

ARP (Automotive Racing Products) is the world’s premier manufacturer of high-strength engine and driveline fasteners—head studs and bolts, main studs, rod bolts, and more—engineered and manufactured in-house from start to finish for race-proven reliability. With vertically integrated processes that include cold heading, machining, heat-treating, thread rolling after heat treat, and rigorous QA, ARP maintains aerospace-level certifications (ISO 9001 and AS9100) and validates every part for repeatable clamp load and fatigue resistance. Signature alloys such as 8740 chromoly, ARP2000, L19, and Custom Age 625+ deliver ultimate tensile strengths up to the super-alloy range, while ARP Ultra-Torque fastener assembly lubricant helps achieve consistent pre-load during installation. From street performance builds to professional motorsport programs, ARP fasteners provide precise fitment, superior metallurgy, and the durability needed to keep engines together at elevated cylinder pressures and...

ARP Head Studs

ARP Head Studs

ARP head studs replace factory head bolts with precision-machined threaded studs that provide more consistent and repeatable clamping force on the cylinder head gasket. Unlike head bolts that apply torque through both rotational and tensile forces, head studs allow the nut to be torqued concentrically on a stud that is already stationary, producing more even clamping load across the entire head gasket surface. Popular ARP Head Stud Applications ARP head studs are available for a wide range of performance and turbocharged engines including the Subaru EJ series, Honda K series and B series, Mitsubishi 4G63 and 4B11, Honda Civic and Integra, Toyota 2JZ-GTE, Nissan SR20DET and RB series, GM LS series, Ford Coyote and 5.0, and Dodge/Chrysler HEMI applications. ARP offers both 8740 chromoly and ARP2000 alloy head stud kits, with the ARP2000 material providing approximately 20 percent higher tensile strength for high-boost applications above 30 psi. Why are head studs preferred over head b...
