Product Description:
Hawks Motorsports is pleased to offer our clients the 82-02 Camaro/Firebird 10mm x 1.5 Torque Converter Bolts for 700R4, 4L60 & 4L60E, ARP 230-7304. This ARP Pro Series torque converter bolt kit is designed for compatible GM automatic transmission applications using M10 x 1.5 torque converter fasteners. The kit includes three bolts with a 0.590" underhead length and hardened parallel-ground washers.
If you're putting a 700R4, 4L60, or 4L60E back behind your F-body engine, don't overlook the torque converter hardware. These are the little fasteners that live in a high-stress area of the drivetrain, and quality hardware is cheap insurance when you're finishing up a transmission swap or freshening up an existing combination. The black oxide 8740 chromoly construction and 12? No—these are hex-head bolts, giving you a straightforward 13mm socket interface for installation.
ARP specifies 230-7304 for GM 200/700, 4L60 and 4L80 torque converter applications. The Hawks Motorsports application specifically identifies this kit for 1982-2002 Camaro and Firebird applications using the compatible 700R4, 4L60 or 4L60E configuration.

IMPORTANT APPLICATION NOTES AND EXCLUSIONS
- Verify the transmission and torque converter require M10 x 1.5 fasteners before ordering.
- These bolts have a 0.590" underhead length.
- Torque converter designs vary, so verify bolt length and clearance for the specific converter being used.
- This kit is sold as a set of three bolts.
- Hardened parallel-ground washers are included with the kit.
- Do not assume the bolts fit every automatic transmission used in a Camaro or Firebird solely based on vehicle year.
- The application should be verified by transmission and torque converter configuration.
- These are not the SAE-thread torque converter bolts used for applications requiring a different thread specification.
ARP's current application information covers a broader range of GM transmissions than the specific Hawks Camaro/Firebird listing, so the vehicle-specific application above is intentionally limited to the verified Hawks application.
INSTALLATION NOTES
- Verify the torque converter and transmission require M10 x 1.5 bolts.
- Confirm the 0.590" underhead length is appropriate for the specific torque converter.
- Make sure the torque converter is fully seated in the transmission before installation.
- Verify proper converter-to-flexplate alignment before tightening the fasteners.
- Use the included hardened washers as specified by the manufacturer.
- Tighten the torque converter fasteners according to the applicable manufacturer specifications.
- Rotate the engine as necessary to access each converter bolt and verify that the converter remains properly seated.
- Follow current ARP installation and torque recommendations where applicable.
