7/16 Stud - 2.500 Short Broached

The 7/16 Stud - 2.500 Short Broached by ARP is a precision-engineered fastener designed for critical engine assembly and high-performance applications where bolt clamping force and reliability are non-negotiable. Built for mechanics, engine builders, and performance enthusiasts who demand OEM-grade or better fastening solutions, this chromoly stud delivers the strength and consistency required in demanding engine environments, cylinder head installations, and structural assemblies where standard fasteners fall short.

Manufactured from chromoly steel and finished in black oxide, the 7/16 stud features a 2.5-inch length with broached threading in both 7/16-14 and 7/16-20 pitch options, allowing compatibility across multiple engine platform specifications. The broached design ensures consistent thread geometry without the stress concentrations common to rolled threads, reducing fatigue failure risk under cyclic loading. Black oxide coating provides corrosion resistance while maintaining the clean, professional appearance expected in engine compartments and high-visibility assemblies. ARP's precision manufacturing tolerances guarantee proper fit and clamping load distribution, critical factors in maintaining head gasket sealing and structural integrity.

This universal fastener serves engine builders restoring muscle cars, modern performance builds, and any application requiring superior fastening where OEM hardware proves inadequate. The 2.5-inch length accommodates standard engine block depths while the dual-pitch threading options ensure fitment across Ford, Chevrolet, Mopar, and other platforms utilizing 7/16-14 or 7/16-20 specifications. Installation requires standard wrenching and torque applications per ARP specifications, making it accessible to both professional shops and experienced DIY builders. Sold individually, allowing builders to purchase exact quantities needed for complete engine assembly or selective upgrades.
