If you're diving into the world of performance engines, you know that the heart of your build is all about the connecting rods. Let me tell you, these Forged 4340 Steel H-Beam connecting rods are something special. Crafted from a two-piece forging, they come fully machined and shot-peened, which means they’re ready to handle some serious power without flinching.
When you order, just let us know the weight you need, and we’ll make sure you get the exact specs for your setup. These rods are specifically designed for Chevrolet Small Block engines, with a length of 6.000 inches, making them perfect for those who are serious about competition.
Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty. The big end width is 0.94 inches, and they come equipped with 7/16" ARP L19 bolts that can take a beating. Plus, they’re bushed for a full-floating piston pin, which is a nice touch for those smooth, high-revving moments. The center-to-center length is spot on at 6 inches, and they’ve got a housing bore of 2.225 inches. You’ll also find a pin end width of 1.06 inches and a pin size of 0.927 inches, which should fit nicely in your build.
One thing to keep in mind is the rod journal size, which is 2.1 inches. When you’re tightening these down, make sure to torque them to 79 ft-lbs using ARP moly lube only—trust me, you don’t want to skip that step.
Oh, and a quick heads-up: these rods do contain nickel, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer, so just be aware of that if you're in California.
In terms of fitment, these rods are pretty universal, but always do your homework. Make sure they’ll work with your specific vehicle setup. If you’re looking for reliability and strength in your performance engine, these rods are a solid choice that won’t let you down.
