S0062

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 are ideal for enthusiasts seeking durable, high-performance upgrades. Whether you’re building a street machine or a track-ready powerhouse, these connecting rods provide the critical strength needed to handle increased power and RPMs.

Built to withstand the rigors of high-performance applications, Eagle’s rods offer a perfect balance of weight, strength, and durability. They are a trusted choice for engine builders looking to improve bottom-end reliability without sacrificing responsiveness.

Key Features:

These connecting rods incorporate advanced design and materials to deliver superior performance and longevity:

• Constructed from forged 4340 steel for exceptional tensile strength and fatigue resistance
• H-beam design optimizes strength-to-weight ratio, reducing rod flex under high loads
• Floating wrist pin style for reduced friction and improved durability
• Precision-machined big end bore diameter of 2.2520 inches for exact bearing fitment
• Cap screw retention with ARP 2000 alloy bolts rated at 220,000 psi tensile strength
• Shot-peened finish enhances fatigue life and stress resistance
• 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 stock stroke applications)

Construction & Design:

Each connecting rod is forged from premium 4340 chromoly steel, a material renowned for its high strength and toughness under extreme conditions. The H-beam configuration provides superior rigidity compared to traditional I-beam rods, minimizing flex and deformation during high-RPM operation. Eagle’s manufacturing process includes shot-peening to introduce beneficial compressive stresses on the rod surface, significantly improving fatigue resistance.

Precision machining ensures tight tolerances on bore diameters and widths, while the rods are magnafluxed to detect any internal cracks or imperfections. The use of ARP 2000 alloy bolts with a 12-point head design guarantees secure cap retention and reliable clamping force, critical for maintaining rod integrity under high cylinder pressures.

Installation & Fitment:

These connecting rods are designed as direct replacements for factory rods in Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram engines with 5.7L Hemi, 6.1L SRT8, 6.4L 392, and 6.2L Hellcat & Trackhawk configurations. Installation requires standard engine assembly procedures and proper bearing selection. Eagle recommends using Clevite CB1808A or King CR8032SM rod bearings for optimal performance and longevity.

No modifications or clearancing are necessary for stock stroke engines, making these rods a straightforward upgrade for performance builds. Professional installation is advised to ensure proper torque specifications and alignment.

What's Included:

• Set of 8 forged 4340 steel H-beam connecting rods
• ARP 2000 alloy cap screws (7/16 inch diameter, 12-point head)
• Shot-peened and magnafluxed rods, weight matched for balanced assembly

Ideal For:

These Eagle connecting rods are perfect for performance enthusiasts and engine builders upgrading Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram Hemi engines who demand increased strength and durability. They are well-suited for naturally aspirated, supercharged, or turbocharged applications where reliability at high RPM and elevated cylinder pressures is critical. Whether building a street performance engine, drag racer, or track vehicle, these rods provide a solid foundation for power upgrades.

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.
