- Clearanced for stroker kits: No, designed for stock stroke applications
- Sold as a complete set of 8 rods, perfect for V8 engine builds
Construction & Design:
Each connecting rod is forged from premium 4340 steel, a material known for its exceptional toughness and fatigue resistance, making it ideal for high-performance engine components. The H-beam configuration provides an optimal combination of strength and reduced weight, minimizing rotational mass to improve throttle response and engine efficiency.
Manufacturing processes include shot-peening to relieve surface stresses and magnaflux inspection to ensure structural integrity free from cracks or defects. The rods feature precision-machined big and small end bores to maintain tight tolerances and ensure smooth bearing operation. High-grade ARP 8740 chromoly steel bolts secure the caps, offering superior clamping force and reliability under extreme conditions.
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 should be performed by experienced technicians to ensure proper torque specifications and clearances.
No modifications are necessary for stock stroke configurations, but it is recommended to verify compatibility with your specific engine build and any aftermarket components. Proper balancing and assembly practices will maximize performance and durability.
