S0055

Overview:

The Eagle Forged 4340 Steel H-Beam Connecting Rods are precision-engineered components designed to enhance the strength and reliability of your engine’s rotating assembly. Crafted specifically for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles equipped with 5.7L Hemi, 6.1L SRT8, 6.4L 392, and 6.2L Hellcat & Trackhawk engines, these rods provide superior durability under high-stress conditions. Ideal for performance enthusiasts and professional builders, they offer a robust upgrade to withstand increased horsepower and torque demands.

These connecting rods are perfect for those seeking to improve engine longevity and reliability during aggressive driving, racing, or forced induction applications. Their forged construction and high-quality materials ensure consistent performance and peace of mind on the track or street.

Key Features:

Engineered for strength and precision, these connecting rods deliver exceptional performance benefits:

• Made from forged 4340 steel for maximum tensile strength and durability
• H-beam design optimizes strength-to-weight ratio, reducing rod flex and increasing stability
• Center-to-center length of 6.243 inches for exact fitment and performance
• 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 enhances fatigue resistance and surface durability
• Cap screw retention with ARP L19 alloy bolts rated at 260,000 psi tensile strength for secure fastening
• Weight-matched set with an approximate weight of 640 grams per rod to maintain engine balance
• Magnafluxed to detect internal flaws and ensure structural integrity
• Clearanced for stroker kits: No (designed for stock stroke applications)

Construction & Design:

These connecting rods are manufactured from premium forged 4340 steel, a material known for its exceptional toughness and fatigue resistance. The H-beam design provides an optimal balance between strength and weight, reducing reciprocating mass while maintaining rigidity under extreme loads. Each rod is meticulously machined to tight tolerances and shot-peened to improve surface hardness and resistance to stress fractures.

The rods are equipped with ARP L19 alloy bolts, renowned for their superior tensile strength and durability, ensuring the cap remains securely fastened during high-RPM operation. Magnaflux inspection guarantees that every rod is free from internal defects, providing confidence in long-term reliability.

Installation & Fitment:

These connecting rods are designed as direct replacements for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram engines with 5.7L Hemi, 6.1L SRT8, 6.4L 392, and 6.2L Hellcat & Trackhawk powerplants. Installation requires standard engine assembly procedures and proper torque specifications for the ARP bolts. No modifications or clearancing are necessary for stock stroke configurations, making installation straightforward for experienced engine builders.

Eagle recommends pairing these rods with Clevite CB1808A or King CR8032SM rod bearings to ensure optimal performance and durability.

What's Included:

• Set of 8 forged 4340 steel H-beam connecting rods
• ARP L19 alloy cap screws (7/16 inch diameter, 12-point head)
• Shot-peened and magnafluxed rods, weight matched for balance

Ideal For:

This set is ideal for performance enthusiasts, engine builders, and racers upgrading or rebuilding Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram Hemi engines who require enhanced strength and reliability. Whether building a naturally aspirated powerhouse or a forced induction monster, these rods provide the durability needed to handle increased power levels and high RPM operation.

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.
