S0064

Overview:

The Eagle Forged 4340 Steel H-Beam Connecting Rods are precision-engineered performance components designed for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles equipped with 5.7L Hemi, 6.1L SRT8, 6.4L 392, and 6.2L Hellcat & Trackhawk engines. Built to withstand the rigors of high horsepower and high RPM applications, these rods provide exceptional strength and durability for enthusiasts seeking reliable engine upgrades. Whether you are building a street performance engine or a track-ready powerplant, these connecting rods deliver the confidence and quality needed for demanding conditions.

Each rod is sold individually, allowing for custom engine builds and replacements. Eagle’s commitment to quality ensures that these rods meet stringent manufacturing standards, making them an ideal choice for serious builders and professional engine shops.

Key Features:

These connecting rods incorporate advanced design and premium materials to enhance engine performance and reliability. Key features include:

• Constructed from forged 4340 steel for superior strength and fatigue resistance
• H-beam design for optimal balance of weight and rigidity
• Center-to-center length of 6.243 inches for precise fitment
• Floating wrist pin style with a pin end bore diameter of 0.984 inches
• Big end bore diameter of 2.2520 inches with a width of 0.932 inches
• Cap screw retention using high-strength ARP L19 alloy bolts with 260,000 psi tensile strength
• Shot-peened finish to improve fatigue life and reduce stress risers
• Magnafluxed for crack detection and quality assurance
• Weight matched set with an approximate weight of 640 grams per rod for balanced engine operation
• Compatible with Clevite CB1808A or King CR8032SM rod bearings as recommended by Eagle

Construction & Design:

These connecting rods are forged from premium 4340 chromoly steel, a material renowned for its high tensile strength and toughness under extreme conditions. The H-beam configuration provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, reducing reciprocating mass while maintaining the rigidity needed to handle high cylinder pressures and RPMs. Each rod undergoes a shot-peening process to enhance surface durability and fatigue resistance, while magnaflux inspection ensures structural integrity free from cracks or defects.

The rods feature precision-machined bores and surfaces to ensure optimal bearing fitment and smooth operation. The use of ARP L19 alloy bolts with a 12-point head design guarantees secure cap retention and reliable clamping force, critical for high-performance and forced induction applications.

Installation & Fitment:

Designed as direct replacements for factory rods, these Eagle connecting rods fit Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram engines with 5.7L Hemi, 6.1L SRT8, 6.4L 392, and 6.2L Hellcat & Trackhawk configurations without requiring modifications. Installation should be performed by a qualified engine builder or technician to ensure proper torque specifications and bearing clearances are met. It is recommended to use the specified rod bearings for optimal performance and longevity.

What's Included:

• One forged 4340 steel H-beam connecting rod
• ARP L19 alloy cap screws pre-installed
• Shot-peened and magnafluxed rod ready for assembly

Ideal For:

These connecting rods are ideal for performance enthusiasts, engine builders, and racers upgrading or rebuilding Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram Hemi engines. They are well-suited for naturally aspirated builds, forced induction setups, and stroked engines requiring durable, high-strength components capable of handling increased power and RPM demands.

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.
