• 6.240" center-to-center length, ideal for the Chrysler 6.1L HEMI engine architecture.
• Equipped with .9848" diameter wrist pin bore for precise fitment and reduced wear.
• Includes ARP 8740 steel fasteners, known for exceptional tensile strength and durability under extreme conditions.
• Manufactured to meet the same stringent quality standards as Manley’s Sportsmaster® and Pro Series rods.
• Designed to support increased horsepower and torque for performance builds.
• Economical option for enthusiasts upgrading their engine internals without compromising reliability.

Construction & Design:

Manley’s H-Beam connecting rods are forged from high-strength steel and engineered with a robust H-Beam cross-section that offers superior resistance to bending and twisting forces. The rods are precision machined to exact tolerances, ensuring consistent performance and fitment. The use of ARP 8740 steel bolts provides enhanced clamping force and fatigue resistance, critical for high-performance applications.

The .9848-inch pin bore is designed for tight, accurate wrist pin fitment, reducing play and wear during operation. This combination of materials and design choices results in a connecting rod set that balances strength, durability, and weight, making it ideal for both street and race engines.

Installation & Fitment:

This connecting rod set is a direct fit for Chrysler 6.1L HEMI engines, designed to replace factory rods without modification. Installation requires standard engine assembly procedures and proper torque specifications for the included ARP fasteners. No cutting, drilling, or special tuning is required to install these rods.

• Direct replacement for factory connecting rods in 6.1L HEMI engines
