Upgrade your Ford 429/460 running Edelbrock RPM-style cylinder heads with this Pro Series bolt kit, engineered for stronger, more even clamping force and reliable head gasket sealing under higher cylinder pressure. Manufactured from 35 chromoly steel with a black finish, these 12-point head bolts also allow for more accurate torque readings during assembly.

Installation follows a 4-step torque sequence up to 140 ft-lbs with lube (40 → 70 → 100 → 140). This kit is not compatible with Ford FE, Small Block Windsor, Cleveland, or Coyote engines. Verify your cylinder head brand, fastener length, and washer requirements before installation.

What's the difference between this kit and TSP's standard 429/460 bolt kit?
This kit is designed specifically for Edelbrock RPM-style cylinder heads, while the standard kit is intended as a factory-style replacement. Material, finish, head style, and torque specifications are the same across both.

Will this fit a 429 or 460?
Yes. This kit is designed for Ford 385-Series 429 and 460 big block engines using compatible Edelbrock RPM-style cylinder heads.

What torque sequence do I need to follow during installation?
Using the specified lubricant, torque in four steps: 40 ft-lbs, 70 ft-lbs, 100 ft-lbs, then 140 ft-lbs. Follow the proper cylinder head tightening sequence during each step.

Are these bolts or studs?
Bolts. This kit uses 12-point head bolts, not studs.

Will this fit a Ford FE or Windsor engine?
No. This kit is designed specifically for Ford 385-Series 429/460 engines and is not compatible with FE, Windsor, Cleveland, or Coyote engines.

Will these bolts work for a performance build?
Yes. The bolts provide consistent cylinder head clamping to help maintain head gasket sealing under the increased cylinder pressures found in performance applications.

What material are these bolts made from?
35 chromoly steel with a black finish and 12-point head design.
