Eagle Chevy Quad 4 Ld9 Connecting Rods (Set of 4)
$450.99
Hurry Low Stock

If you’re looking to boost your engine’s capabilities, let me tell you about these Eagle H-beam connecting rods. They’re not just any rods; these bad boys are made from 2-piece, forged, vacuum-degassed, 4340-certified steel. What does that mean? Well, they’re tough as nails but still lighter than your stock rods, which is a win-win for any performance build.

Every single rod goes through a rigorous process: multi-stage heat treatment, X-ray inspection, sonic testing, and magnafluxing—basically, they’re put through the wringer to ensure they can handle some serious power. Plus, they’re 100% machined and shot-peened to relieve stress in the metal, so you know they’re built to last.

One of the cool features is the precision cap alignment sleeves that help keep everything in place. And if you’re running floating pin models, these rods come with silicon bronze bushings, which is a nice touch. If you’re planning on a stroker setup, you’re in luck—these rods are available in configurations that allow for extra cam-to-rod clearance, perfect for those big stroke combos.

Now, let’s talk about the hardware. You’ve got options for rod bolts: standard ARP 8740 rated at 190,000 psi, or you can upgrade to the ARP 2000 at 230,000 psi, or even go for the heavy-duty ARP L-19 bolts rated at 265,000 psi. Whatever your build demands, these rods have you covered. And don’t worry, they come with instructions and rod bolt lubrication to make your life easier.

Features:

  • 2-piece forged construction for added strength
  • Made from 4340-certified steel for durability
  • Multiple PSI rating options depending on your needs

Products Fitment:

  • Buick Skylark 1996-1998
  • Chevrolet Cavalier 1996-2002
  • Chevrolet Malibu 1997-1999
  • Pontiac Grand Am 1999-2001
  • Pontiac Sunfire 1996-2002

So if you’re ready to take your engine to the next level, these Eagle Chevy Quad 4 Ld9 connecting rods (set of 4) are a solid choice. They’re built to handle the heat and give you the performance you’re after.

Who is EAGLE?

EAGLE SPECIALTY PRODUCTS, aka EAGLE, has been at the forefront of developing top-quality engine components. The company officially started back in 1992 but has been developing their product for ten years prior.  Since the company started, it has continuously produced some of the market's best engine components and is widely used by engine builders worldwide.

Imitated But Not Duplicated

Due to the company's success, its products have been imitated by other companies even up to the part numbers. But the similarity ends only up to how they look. EAGLE uses the finest materials and has invested in the most state-of-the-art manufacturing machinery for them to create a product that would be able to take any punishment it is subjected to. It is tested to be superior to other brands and considered the best upgrade for OEM counterparts.

No To Shortcuts

The company sets the benchmark on how valves should be properly made. Using their years of experience creating rods, they have already designed over 200 different rods and 180 crankshafts. The company does not allow cost to compromise its material used, manufacturing process, and quality test. 

High-End Quality

All of Eagle's products are made up of high-quality materials. They use certified 4340 Chromoly steel. Using their own special heat treatment process, they are able to create a product that is much stronger compared to other competitors using the same raw material. 

They manufacture their rods using a 2-piece forging process that allows the rod to be stronger. This process orients the "grain" of the metal to the direction of the stress. Eagle uses a state-of-the-art Sunnen Krossgrinding system that allows them to create perfect cuts and bore consistently.
