CRS6243C3D-1

Overview:

The Eagle Forged 4340 Steel H-Beam Connecting Rods are precision-engineered components designed to enhance the strength and reliability of your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram HEMI engine. Built to withstand the rigors of high-performance and demanding driving conditions, these rods are ideal for enthusiasts looking to upgrade their 5.7L Hemi, 6.1L SRT8, 6.4L 392, or 6.2L Hellcat & Trackhawk engines. Whether you are building a street performance machine or a track-ready powerhouse, these connecting rods provide the durability and consistency needed for serious power applications.

Manufactured with forged 4340 steel and featuring an H-beam design, these rods offer an excellent balance of strength and weight, ensuring improved engine response and longevity under extreme loads. Sold individually, they allow for precise engine builds and replacements tailored to your specific needs.

Key Features:

These connecting rods incorporate advanced engineering and premium materials to deliver superior performance and reliability:

• Constructed from forged 4340 steel for exceptional strength and fatigue resistance
• H-beam design optimizes strength-to-weight ratio for enhanced durability
• Center-to-center length of 6.243 inches, ideal for specified HEMI engine applications
• Floating wrist pin design with a 0.945-inch end bore diameter for smooth articulation
• Big end bore diameter of 2.2520 inches and rod journal diameter of 2.126 inches for precise fitment
• Cap retention via high-strength ARP 8740 chromoly steel cap screws with 190,000 psi tensile strength
• 12-point bolt head style for secure fastening and easy installation
• Shot-peened finish to reduce stress risers and improve fatigue life
• Magnafluxed to detect and eliminate any internal defects ensuring reliability
• Weight-matched set for balanced engine operation and reduced vibration

Construction & Design:

The rods are forged from premium 4340 chromoly steel, a material known for its outstanding tensile strength and toughness. The H-beam configuration provides a robust cross-section that resists bending and twisting forces encountered during high RPM and high load conditions. Each rod undergoes shot peening to enhance surface durability and is magnafluxed to ensure structural integrity free from cracks or imperfections. The use of ARP 8740 chromoly steel bolts with a 12-point head design guarantees secure cap retention, critical for maintaining engine reliability under extreme stress.

Installation & Fitment:

These connecting rods are designed as direct replacements for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram engines equipped with 5.7L Hemi, 6.1L SRT8, 6.4L 392, and 6.2L Hellcat & Trackhawk powerplants. Installation requires standard engine assembly procedures and precise torque application to the ARP cap screws. No modifications or clearancing for stroker kits are necessary, making them a straightforward upgrade for performance builds or rebuilds. Sold individually, they allow for selective replacement or full set assembly depending on your project requirements.

What's Included:

• One forged 4340 steel H-beam connecting rod
• Cap screws manufactured by ARP (8740 chromoly steel)
• Shot-peened and magnafluxed rod for quality assurance

Ideal For:

These Eagle connecting rods are perfect for performance enthusiasts, engine builders, and racers who demand enhanced durability and strength from their HEMI engines. They are well-suited for street performance upgrades, track use, and moderate to high horsepower builds where factory rods may not provide sufficient reliability. Whether upgrading a 5.7L Hemi or pushing the limits of a Hellcat or Trackhawk, these rods offer the confidence and quality needed for serious engine projects.

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.
