SBF Cam Bolt Kit 351C/351/400M

The ARP SBF Cam Bolt Kit 351C/351/400M (part number 154-1002) is a premium chromoly fastener assembly engineered for high-performance Ford Cleveland and modified engine builds. This cam bolt kit delivers the fastening reliability required in race and high-output street applications where factory hardware cannot withstand elevated valve spring pressures and sustained RPM loads.

Specified at 3/8-16 inch thread with 1.970-inch length and 5/8-inch hex head, this kit provides the dimensional compatibility required for 351C, 351M, and 400M camshaft installations. The chromoly construction delivers superior tensile strength compared to standard steel, critical when managing repeated stress cycles at elevated boost pressures or aggressive cam profiles. Black oxide finish provides corrosion resistance and allows visual inspection for stress patterns during teardown intervals. The precise 1.970-inch length ensures proper preload and clamp load without bottoming in the block or over-torquing the fastener.

This fastener set is essential for engine builders, serious enthusiasts, and performance shops preparing Cleveland-based platforms for consistent power output and reliability. Whether assembling a street stroker, vintage race engine, or modified platform for reliability-focused builds, cam bolt integrity directly impacts valvetrain stability. ARP's verified fastener specifications ensure load-holding capability that factory hardware cannot match, reducing the risk of cam walk or fastener failure under sustained high-RPM operation.

Cleveland and modified Ford small-block platforms demand precision fastening solutions. This kit delivers OEM-compatible geometry with performance-grade material specifications, making it the standard choice for rebuild operations and custom engine work across street and competition builds.
