S0056

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 engine. Specifically crafted for the 5.7L Hemi, 6.1L SRT8, 6.4L 392, and 6.2L Hellcat & Trackhawk powerplants, these rods provide superior durability for high-performance and demanding driving conditions.

Ideal for enthusiasts and professional builders alike, these connecting rods offer a robust upgrade over factory components, ensuring your engine can handle increased horsepower and torque without compromise. Whether you’re building a street machine, a track car, or a heavy-duty daily driver, Eagle rods deliver consistent performance and peace of mind.

Key Features:

Engineered for strength, precision, and reliability, these connecting rods include:

• Forged from premium 4340 steel for exceptional toughness and fatigue resistance
• H-beam design for optimal balance of weight and strength under high stress
• Center-to-center length of 6.243 inches, ensuring proper fitment and stroke compatibility
• Floating wrist pin style 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 crankshaft fit
• Shot-peened finish to improve fatigue life and resistance to stress cracks
• Cap screw retention using ARP L19 alloy bolts with a tensile strength of 260,000 psi for secure fastening
• 12-point bolt head style for reliable torque application and easy installation
• Weight matched sets (~640 grams per rod) to maintain engine balance and smooth operation
• Magnafluxed to detect and eliminate internal flaws, ensuring structural integrity

Construction & Design:

Each connecting rod is forged from high-grade 4340 steel, a material renowned for its superior strength and toughness in demanding engine environments. The H-beam design offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, providing the rigidity needed to withstand high combustion pressures while minimizing reciprocating mass. This balance helps improve engine response and durability.

The rods undergo shot-peening, a process that induces compressive stresses on the surface to enhance fatigue resistance. Additionally, magnaflux inspection ensures that every rod is free from internal defects, guaranteeing reliability under extreme conditions. The use of ARP L19 alloy bolts further reinforces the assembly, delivering outstanding clamping force and longevity.

Installation & Fitment:

These connecting rods are designed as direct replacements for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram engines equipped with the 5.7L Hemi, 6.1L SRT8, 6.4L 392, and 6.2L Hellcat & Trackhawk powerplants. Sold individually, they allow for precise engine builds and easy part swaps. Installation requires standard engine assembly procedures, and no stroker clearance modifications are necessary.

Ensure proper torque specifications are followed when installing the ARP L19 bolts to maintain optimal clamping force and rod integrity. Always verify fitment against your specific engine model before purchase.

What's Included:
