Eagle Forged 4340 Steel H-Beam Connecting Rods

Chrysler / Dodge / Jeep / Ram 5.7L Hemi, 6.1L SRT8, 6.4L 392, 6.2L Hellcat & Trackhawk

S0063

Overview:

The Eagle Forged 4340 Steel H-Beam Connecting Rods are engineered for high-performance Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram engines, including the 5.7L Hemi, 6.1L SRT8, 6.4L 392, and the 6.2L Hellcat & Trackhawk variants. Designed for enthusiasts and professional builders seeking enhanced strength and reliability, these rods provide a critical upgrade for engines subjected to increased power and stress. Their robust construction ensures durability under demanding conditions, making them ideal for street performance, track use, and forced induction applications.

Each rod is precision-crafted to exacting standards, delivering consistent performance and longevity. Whether upgrading a naturally aspirated build or reinforcing a boosted powerplant, Eagle’s connecting rods offer the strength and balance required to maximize engine potential.

Key Features:

These connecting rods combine advanced materials and design to meet the rigorous demands of high-output Hemi engines. Key features include:

• Forged from premium 4340 steel for superior tensile strength and fatigue resistance
• H-beam design optimized for maximum stiffness and reduced weight
• Floating wrist pin style for smooth articulation and reduced wear
• Cap screw retention with ARP L19 alloy bolts rated at 260,000 psi tensile strength
• Shot-peened finish to improve fatigue life and surface durability
• Magnafluxed for crack detection and quality assurance
• Weight-matched set to ensure balanced engine operation and reduce vibration
• Precision bore diameters: 0.984 in. pin end, 2.2520 in. big end for exact fitment
• Compatible with Clevite CB1808A or King CR8032SM rod bearings as recommended by Eagle

Construction & Design:

Crafted from forged 4340 steel, these connecting rods deliver exceptional strength-to-weight ratio essential for high-performance engines. The H-beam configuration provides enhanced rigidity and resistance to bending and twisting forces encountered during high RPM and heavy load conditions. Each rod undergoes shot peening to introduce beneficial compressive stresses on the surface, significantly improving fatigue resistance.

Quality control includes magnaflux inspection to detect any microscopic cracks or imperfections, ensuring reliability and safety. The use of ARP L19 alloy bolts with a 12-point head design offers superior clamping force and durability, critical for maintaining rod integrity 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 is best performed by experienced technicians or engine builders. No modifications are necessary as the rods maintain OEM dimensions, including a 6.243-inch center-to-center length and precise bore diameters.

For optimal performance and longevity, Eagle recommends pairing these rods with compatible rod bearings such as Clevite CB1808A or King CR8032SM. Proper torque specifications and assembly techniques should be followed to ensure secure cap retention and reliable operation.

What's Included:

• Set of 8 forged 4340 steel H-beam connecting rods
• ARP L19 alloy cap screws (7/16 inch diameter)
• Shot-peened and magnafluxed rods, weight matched
• Installation notes and bearing recommendations

Ideal For:

These Eagle connecting rods are ideal for performance enthusiasts, engine builders, and racers upgrading or rebuilding Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram Hemi engines. They are especially suited for applications involving increased horsepower, forced induction, or track use where enhanced durability and reliability are paramount. Whether building a street performance engine or a high-horsepower race motor, these rods provide the strength and precision needed to support aggressive tuning and extended engine life.

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.
