Mopar Head Stud Kit - 12pt. 96-06 Viper

The ARP Mopar Head Stud Kit - 12pt. 96-06 Viper (MPN 247-4201) is a premium fastening solution designed for serious Viper owners and high-performance Dodge V10 engine builders. This kit replaces factory bolts with head studs to provide superior clamping force and repeatability under extreme combustion pressures and thermal cycling.

Constructed from high-quality chromoly steel and finished with a protective black oxide coating, this head stud kit offers significant advantages over original equipment. The 12-point nut design ensures positive engagement and minimizes the risk of fastener rounding, which is crucial for high-value engine builds. ARP's methodology optimizes stud diameter, length, and preload specifications, allowing for predictable torque values and consistent clamping pressure across all eight cylinders.

This kit is essential for 1996–2006 Viper owners who are preparing for turbocharging, supercharging, or nitrous oxide use, as well as for engine builders restoring or modifying Mopar V10 blocks. Both professional machine shops and automotive enthusiasts trust ARP studs to ensure reliable performance and durability during sustained high-load operation.
