S0048

Overview:

The Eagle Forged 4340 Steel H-Beam Connecting Rods are precision-engineered components designed to enhance the durability and performance of high-output Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram engines. Specifically crafted for the 5.7L Hemi, 6.1L SRT8, 6.4L 392, and 6.2L Hellcat & Trackhawk powerplants, these rods provide a reliable upgrade for enthusiasts seeking to push their engines to the limit.

Ideal for street performance, track use, and serious builds, these connecting rods offer superior strength and fatigue resistance compared to factory components. They are engineered to withstand the increased stresses of high horsepower and torque applications, ensuring long-lasting reliability under demanding conditions.

Key Features:

These connecting rods incorporate advanced design and materials to deliver exceptional performance and durability:

• Constructed from forged 4340 steel for maximum strength and toughness
• H-beam design optimizes weight-to-strength ratio for improved rod stability
• Center-to-center length of 6.125 inches for precise fitment and stroke clearance
• Floating wrist pin style with a 0.927-inch end bore diameter for smooth articulation
• Big end bore diameter of 2.1250 inches and rod journal diameter of 2.000 inches
• Shot-peened and magnafluxed to enhance fatigue resistance and detect flaws
• Weight-matched set with an approximate weight of 660 grams per rod for balanced engine operation
• Cap retention via high-strength ARP2000 alloy 7/16-inch cap screws with 220,000 psi tensile strength
• 12-point bolt head style for secure fastening and easy installation
• Clearanced for stroker applications, allowing compatibility with modified crankshafts

Construction & Design:

The connecting rods are forged from premium 4340 chromoly steel, a material renowned for its excellent strength, toughness, and fatigue resistance. The H-beam configuration provides an optimal balance between rigidity and weight, reducing the risk of rod flex or failure under high load conditions. Each rod undergoes shot peening to relieve surface stresses and magnaflux inspection to ensure structural integrity, guaranteeing a reliable component for high-performance engines.

Precision machining ensures tight tolerances and consistent dimensions, while the ARP2000 alloy bolts deliver superior clamping force to maintain rod cap alignment and prevent fastener failure. The rods are designed with clearances to accommodate stroker crankshafts, making them suitable for engine builds that require increased displacement.

Installation & Fitment:

These connecting rods are designed as direct replacements for factory rods in 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 should be performed by a qualified technician to ensure proper torque specifications and clearances are met. The rods’ design allows for straightforward integration into both stock and modified engine builds, including stroker configurations.

What's Included:

• Set of 8 forged 4340 steel H-beam connecting rods
• ARP2000 alloy 7/16-inch cap screws (12-point head)
• Shot-peened and magnafluxed rods, weight matched

Ideal For:

This set of Eagle connecting rods is ideal for performance enthusiasts, engine builders, and racers who demand enhanced strength and reliability from their Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram Hemi engines. Whether upgrading a naturally aspirated build or supporting forced induction and stroker applications, these rods provide the durability needed to handle increased power levels and aggressive driving 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.
