Overview:

The Eagle Forged 4340 Steel H-Beam Connecting Rods are precision-engineered components designed to enhance the strength and reliability of your high-performance Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram engine. Specifically crafted for the 5.7L Hemi, 6.1L SRT8, 6.4L 392, and 6.2L Hellcat & Trackhawk powerplants, these rods provide exceptional durability under extreme conditions. Ideal for enthusiasts and professional builders alike, they offer a robust upgrade for engines subjected to increased horsepower, torque, and high RPM operation.

Built to withstand the rigors of racing, forced induction, and stroker applications, these connecting rods deliver consistent performance and longevity. Whether you are upgrading your engine for street performance, track use, or drag racing, Eagle’s forged rods ensure your rotating assembly remains strong and balanced.

Key Features:

Engineered for strength, precision, and reliability, these connecting rods include:

• Constructed from premium forged 4340 steel for maximum tensile strength and fatigue resistance
• H-beam design optimizes strength-to-weight ratio, reducing flex and increasing durability
• Center-to-center length of 6.125 inches, ideal for factory and stroker engine builds
• Floating wrist pin style with a pin end bore diameter of 0.927 inches for smooth articulation
• Big end bore diameter of 2.1250 inches with a width of 0.940 inches, clearanced for stroker compatibility
• Cap retention via high-strength ARP2000 alloy 7/16-inch diameter cap screws with 220,000 psi tensile strength
• Shot-peened finish and magnafluxed for crack detection and enhanced fatigue life
• Weight-matched set with an approximate rod weight of 660 grams for balanced engine operation
• 12-point bolt head style for secure fastening and ease of assembly

Construction & Design:

Each connecting rod is forged from 4340 chromoly steel, a material renowned for its superior strength and toughness. The H-beam configuration provides an optimal balance between rigidity and weight savings, minimizing rod flex during high-stress engine cycles. Eagle’s manufacturing process includes shot-peening to improve surface durability and magnaflux inspection to ensure structural integrity free from cracks or defects.

The rods are designed with precision-machined bores and clearances to fit factory and stroker crankshafts, making them versatile for a range of performance builds. The use of ARP2000 alloy bolts ensures reliable cap retention under extreme loads, critical for high-RPM and forced induction applications.

Installation & Fitment:

These connecting rods are sold individually, allowing you to replace only the rods needed or build a complete set. They are designed to fit Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram engines equipped with the 5.7L Hemi, 6.1L SRT8, 6.4L 392, and 6.2L Hellcat & Trackhawk powerplants. Installation requires standard engine assembly procedures and proper torque specifications for ARP bolts. The rods are clearanced for stroker crankshafts, making them suitable for both stock and modified engine configurations.

What's Included:

• One forged 4340 steel H-beam connecting rod
• ARP2000 alloy 7/16-inch diameter cap screws
• Shot-peened and magnafluxed rod for enhanced durability

Ideal For:

These connecting rods are perfect for performance enthusiasts, engine builders, and racers seeking a reliable upgrade for Chrysler and Dodge Hemi engines. They excel in applications involving increased horsepower, forced induction, stroker kits, and high-RPM operation. Whether building a street performance engine or a race-ready powerplant, Eagle’s forged rods provide the strength and precision needed to handle demanding conditions.

Eagle Specialty Products manufactures high-strength engine components—most notably connecting rods and crankshafts—intended for performance and racing engines. These rotating-assembly upgrades are commonly used in builds that demand higher strength margins for boost, nitrous, sustained RPM, or competition use.
