Edelbrock Ford 429/460 Head Bolt Kit

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Ford 429 or 460 engine, you want to know the components holding your cylinder heads down are up to the task. This Edelbrock head bolt kit, manufactured by ARP, gives you a complete set of high-strength head bolts and hardened, parallel-ground washers. These bolts are cold-formed to ensure molecular integrity and heat treated before the threads are rolled and machined, giving you a well-built fastener rated at 170,000 p.s.i. This kit fits a wide range of Ford 429 and 460 engines from 1968-1987, including popular models like the F-150, E-Series vans, and LTD, as well as stock Ford heads and many Edelbrock Performer RPM and Victor cylinder heads.

The reduced diameter of the bolt heads is a practical touch that makes re-torquing your cylinder heads much easier, as it often eliminates the need to remove valve train components. This attention to detail means you can perform critical maintenance or checks without a major disassembly. The included hardened washers are ground parallel to ensure even load distribution, which is crucial for maintaining proper head gasket seal under high stress.
