Pro Series Head Stud Kit

The ARP Pro Series Head Stud Kit (144-4005) provides a robust solution for securing cylinder heads on a wide range of Chrysler small block engines. These studs are constructed from premium 8740 chromoly material, known for its superior strength and durability compared to standard alloys. The cold-forging process enhances molecular integrity, while heat treatment prior to thread rolling and machining further ensures the longevity and reliability of the fasteners. Each kit includes 20 studs, featuring a hex head style and a black oxide finish for corrosion resistance. Hardened parallel washers are also provided to ensure even load distribution and accurate torque readings during installation, which is crucial for optimal engine performance and sealing. The studs are manufactured with precision to guarantee consistent quality and fitment. This kit is designed for specific applications, including various Dodge and Plymouth models such as the Dart, Barracuda, Valiant, Challenger, Charger, Duster, Fury, and Satellite, spanning model years from the mid-1960s through the early 1990s. It is particularly noted for use with Edelbrock Performer RPM heads on Chrysler 318, 340, and 360 engines. Compatibility extends to specialized vehicles like Ghia 450 SS, and even some international models and industrial applications like ethanol-powered trucks and tractors.
