What is included in this intake bolt kit?

This kit contains all the bolts and hardened washers needed to install an Edelbrock intake manifold onto a compatible small-block Chevy engine with Vortec or E-tec heads. It ensures you have the correct hardware for the job.

Why do the bolts have 12-point heads?

The 12-point heads offer more contact points for your wrench compared to a standard 6-point head. This makes it easier to get a grip on the bolt and tighten it, especially in tight engine compartments where access can be limited.

What kind of finish do the bolts have?

The bolts are finished with cadmium plating. This type of plating is applied to steel fasteners to help protect them from corrosion and rust, which is important for engine components.
