Intake Bolt Kit - Mopar 5.7/6.1L HEMI

The Edelbrock Intake Bolt Kit for Mopar 5.7L and 6.1L HEMI engines is a direct replacement fastener assembly engineered to OEM specifications for Gen III HEMI platform applications. This kit addresses a critical maintenance need: factory intake manifold bolts that loosen under thermal cycling, causing coolant leaks, vacuum leaks, and loss of boost control precision on supercharged or turbocharged builds. The hex-head steel construction with cadmium plating provides corrosion resistance and reliable torque retention across repeated heat cycles.

Cadmium-plated fasteners outperform bare steel in high-temperature engine bays where moisture ingress and thermal stress accelerate corrosion. The hex-head design ensures positive engagement with standard socket and wrench tools, eliminating rounding risks common with Phillips-head or torx fasteners under shop pressure. This kit contains the complete bolt complement required for intake manifold installation, allowing operators to replace compromised fasteners without sourcing individual pieces. Proper torque sequencing during installation—typically 24 ft-lbs for HEMI applications—prevents gasket crush and uneven clamping that degrades sealing integrity.

This replacement kit is essential for engine builders, performance shops, and serious enthusiasts rebuilding or refreshing Gen III HEMI platforms. Applications include both naturally aspirated 5.7L variants and high-output 6.1L SRT models. Whether addressing a leaking intake manifold, completing a long-block assembly, or upgrading from compromised OEM fasteners, this Edelbrock kit ensures critical sealing surfaces maintain their clamping load. Cadmium plating extends fastener life in corrosive environments and repeated thermal cycles typical of high-RPM or forced-induction operation.
