Default What are bolt ons?

When folks are talking about engine mods and they say "bolt ons" what does that entail exactly? Seems like heads, cam, intake aren't considered bolt ons so what's left??

Here are some things that would be considered bolt-ons when changed from stock..

Air filter and ducting (if any)
Throttle body (or carb), injectors, fuel pump, and all fuel plumbing.
Intake manifold.- is not usually considered internal engine, so yes, its a bolt-on.
Drive/driven pulley changes (underdrive balancer, electric water pump, A/C deletion, etc).
Headers, !cats, and the entire exhaust system.
Ignition components - distributor, coils, plugs, wires, etc.
