Product Information

This listing covers the exact ARP head stud & bolt kits configuration identified as Ford Mustang ARP Modular 4.6L 2&4 Valve 12 pt Head Stud Kit.

Catalog fitment covers the listed 1996-2011 Ford Mustang applications. Exact year and submodel combinations appear in the fitment table below; compatibility must not be inferred for every trim across the full range.

Manufacturer-supplied details include ARP's kit uses 12-point stud heads in place of the factory Ford head bolts; It's built for the Ford modular 4.6L engine, covering both 2-valve and 4-valve heads.

Head stud kits go on with the cylinder heads off the block, so this rides along with a heads-off job, whether that's a full rebuild, a head gasket swap, or a boosted bottom end, not a standalone bolt-on for a running engine.

What else you need: check the included instructions for whether thread sealant, new head gaskets, or a specific torque wrench and sequence are required for this kit.

Listed specifications include Part type: Head Stud & Bolt Kits; Stud head style: 12-point.

Use manufacturer part number 256-4201 to identify this exact ARP configuration. Match the full part number, vehicle application, position, dimensions, material, finish, and included components before ordering.

No Robots. Just Car People.

Buying parts for your Mustang or F-150 should not feel like homework. Too many stores bury you in a giant catalog, slap the same distributor description on every product, and leave you guessing whether it even fits.


We do it the other way. We carry the brands you already trust, we tell you what a part actually does, and we give you the truth about the tradeoffs before you spend a dollar. Drone on that exhaust. Ride quality on those springs. Whether you need a tune. The stuff the big catalogs leave out.
