CRS6243H3D-1

Overview:

The Eagle Forged 4340 Steel H-Beam Connecting Rods are precision-engineered performance components designed for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles equipped with 5.7L Hemi, 6.1L SRT8, 6.4L 392, and 6.2L Hellcat & Trackhawk engines. Built to withstand high horsepower and torque demands, these rods provide exceptional strength and durability for enthusiasts seeking reliable engine upgrades. Whether you are building a street performance machine or a track-ready powerhouse, these connecting rods deliver the confidence and longevity required for demanding applications.

Each rod is sold individually, allowing for custom engine builds and replacements. They are engineered to exacting tolerances to ensure optimal fitment and performance in your high-output Hemi or SRT engine.

Key Features:

These connecting rods combine advanced materials and design to meet the rigorous demands of performance engines:

• Constructed from forged 4340 steel for superior strength and fatigue resistance
• H-beam design optimizes strength-to-weight ratio, reducing flex under high load
• Floating wrist pin style for smooth articulation and reduced wear
• End bore diameter of 0.927 inches and rod journal diameter of 2.126 inches for precise fitment
• Cap screw retention with ARP 7/16-inch 8740 chromoly steel bolts rated at 190,000 psi tensile strength
• Shot-peened finish enhances fatigue life and surface durability
• Magnafluxed to detect internal flaws and ensure structural integrity
• Weight-matched set with an approximate weight of 640 grams per rod for balanced engine operation
• Clearanced for stroker kits: No, designed for standard stroke applications

Construction & Design:

These connecting rods are crafted from premium forged 4340 steel, a material known for its excellent toughness and fatigue resistance under extreme conditions. The H-beam configuration provides an ideal balance between strength and weight, minimizing rod flex and maximizing power transfer. Each rod undergoes a shot-peening process to improve surface hardness and fatigue life, while magnaflux inspection ensures no internal defects compromise reliability.

Cap retention is secured by high-strength ARP 8740 chromoly steel bolts with a 12-point head design, delivering exceptional clamping force and durability. The rods are precision-machined to exact specifications, ensuring consistent performance and fitment across all applications.

Installation & Fitment:

Designed specifically for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram engines with 5.7L Hemi, 6.1L SRT8, 6.4L 392, and 6.2L Hellcat & Trackhawk configurations, these rods fit directly without the need for modifications. Sold individually, they allow for flexible engine assembly and replacement. Installation should be performed by a qualified engine builder or technician to ensure proper torque specifications and clearances are met for optimal performance and longevity.

What's Included:

• One Eagle Forged 4340 Steel H-Beam Connecting Rod
• ARP 7/16-inch 8740 chromoly steel cap screws

Ideal For:

These connecting rods are ideal for performance enthusiasts, engine builders, and racers upgrading or rebuilding Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram Hemi and SRT engines. They are well-suited for street performance, drag racing, road racing, and other high-stress applications where strength and reliability are paramount.

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.
