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
S0050
Overview:
The Eagle Forged 4340 Steel H-Beam Connecting Rods are precision-engineered performance components designed to upgrade and reinforce the bottom end 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 exceptional strength and durability for high-horsepower and high-stress applications.
Ideal for enthusiasts and professional builders seeking to maximize engine reliability under extreme conditions, these connecting rods deliver superior fatigue resistance and maintain optimal geometry for improved engine efficiency and longevity.
Key Features:
Engineered to meet the demands of high-performance builds, the Eagle H-beam rods offer a combination of strength, precision, and reliability:
- Constructed from forged 4340 steel for outstanding tensile strength and toughness
- H-beam design optimizes weight-to-strength ratio for enhanced durability
- 6.125-inch center-to-center length for precise fitment and stroke clearance
- Floating wrist pin design with a 0.927-inch end bore diameter for smooth articulation
- Big end bore diameter of 2.1250 inches and rod journal diameter of 2.000 inches
- Shot-peened and magnafluxed for superior fatigue resistance and crack detection
- Cap screw retention with ARP L19 alloy bolts rated at 260,000 psi tensile strength
- Weight-matched set with an approximate weight of 660 grams per rod for balanced engine operation
- Clearanced for stroker applications, allowing compatibility with modified crankshafts
- 12-point bolt head style for secure fastening and ease of assembly
Construction & Design:
Each connecting rod is forged from premium 4340 chromoly steel, a material renowned for its high tensile strength and resistance to fatigue and wear. The H-beam configuration provides an optimal balance between rigidity and weight savings, reducing reciprocating mass without compromising durability. The rods undergo shot-peening to enhance surface hardness and fatigue life, while magnaflux inspection ensures structural integrity by detecting any microscopic cracks before assembly.
Precision machining guarantees exact dimensions and tolerances, ensuring perfect fitment and reliable performance in demanding engine environments. The use of ARP L19 alloy bolts further reinforces the assembly, providing exceptional clamping force and resistance to stretch under high RPM and load conditions.
Installation & Fitment:
These connecting rods are designed as direct replacements for factory rods in Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram engines equipped with the 5.7L Hemi, 6.1L SRT8, 6.4L 392, and 6.2L Hellcat & Trackhawk powerplants. Installation requires standard engine disassembly and reassembly procedures, with no modifications necessary for stock or stroked configurations thanks to the clearanced design.
Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper torque specifications and alignment. The rods are sold individually, allowing for custom engine builds and selective replacements.
What's Included:
- One Eagle 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 perfect for high-performance enthusiasts, drag racers, street performance builds, and engine builders who demand enhanced strength and reliability from their bottom-end components. Whether upgrading a naturally aspirated setup or building a forced induction powerhouse, Eagle rods provide the durability needed to handle increased power and RPM.
