Hawks Motorsports offers our clients this 434-2101 GM Small Block Chevy 12-Point Stainless Steel Intake Manifold Bolt Kit, Polished, ARP for factory-style Chevrolet Small Block V8 intake manifold applications. This complete kit includes 12 polished stainless steel 12-point bolts and matching washers, with 3/8"-16 threads and 1.00" bolt length.

When you're putting together a clean small-block, the little details are what finish the job. These polished stainless ARP bolts give the intake manifold hardware a sharp, finished look while adding quality fasteners where the factory hardware has seen years of wrenching, corrosion, or abuse. The 12-point heads also give you a little more room to work with when you're leaning over the intake and trying to get everything buttoned up without fighting a bulky hex-head socket.

ARP uses corrosion-resistant stainless steel with precision-rolled threads and a wide-area underhead flange designed to improve load distribution. Companion washers are included, and the kit is intended for factory OEM-style Small Block Chevy intake manifold applications.
