Overview:

The Eagle Forged 4340 Steel H-Beam Connecting Rods are precision-engineered components designed for high-performance Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram engines. 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 under extreme conditions. Ideal for enthusiasts and professional builders seeking reliable, lightweight, and balanced rods to handle increased horsepower and torque demands.

These connecting rods are perfect for engine builds that require enhanced bottom-end strength, whether for street performance, track use, or forced induction applications. Their robust construction ensures long-lasting performance and peace of mind during aggressive driving or racing scenarios.

Key Features:

Engineered for strength, precision, and reliability, the Eagle Forged 4340 Steel H-Beam Connecting Rods offer the following key features:

• Constructed from premium forged 4340 steel for superior tensile strength and fatigue resistance
• H-beam design optimizes strength-to-weight ratio, reducing reciprocating mass while maintaining rigidity
• Center-to-center length of 6.125 inches, tailored for exact fitment in specified engines
• Floating wrist pin style with a pin end bore diameter of 0.927 inches for smooth articulation
• Big end bore diameter of 2.1250 inches with a width of 0.940 inches, clearanced for stroker applications
• Cap screw retention using high-strength ARP L19 alloy bolts with 260,000 psi tensile strength for secure fastening
• Shot-peened and magnafluxed for enhanced durability and crack detection
• Weight-matched set with an approximate weight of 660 grams per rod to ensure engine balance
• 12-point bolt head style for precise torque application and ease of assembly
• Sold as a complete set of 8 rods, ready for installation

Construction & Design:

Each connecting rod is forged from premium 4340 chromoly steel, a material known for its outstanding strength, toughness, and fatigue resistance. The H-beam design provides an optimal balance between weight and rigidity, allowing these rods to withstand the high stresses generated by powerful V8 engines without unnecessary mass. This design reduces reciprocating weight, improving engine response and durability.

The rods undergo shot-peening, a process that induces compressive stress on the surface to increase fatigue life, and magnaflux inspection to detect any microscopic cracks or defects before assembly. The use of ARP L19 alloy bolts, renowned for their exceptional tensile strength, ensures the rods remain securely fastened under extreme loads.

Installation & Fitment:

These connecting rods are engineered for direct fitment 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 assembly procedures and proper torque specifications for the ARP bolts. The rods are clearanced for stroker setups, offering flexibility for engine builders looking to increase displacement.

Professional installation is recommended to ensure optimal performance and reliability. No modifications to the engine block or crankshaft are typically necessary when replacing stock rods with this set.

What's Included:

• Set of 8 Eagle 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 connecting rod set is ideal for performance enthusiasts, engine builders, and racers upgrading or rebuilding Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram V8 engines. Whether building a naturally aspirated, supercharged, or turbocharged setup, these rods provide the strength and reliability needed to handle increased power levels and demanding driving conditions.

They are especially suited for applications involving stroker kits, high RPM operation, and forced induction where stock rods may not offer sufficient durability.
