If you're diving into the world of performance engines, you know that the little things can make a huge difference. That's where these Forged 4340 Steel H-Beam Connecting Rods come into play. Built for serious competition use, these rods are crafted from a two-piece forging, which means they’re not just strong; they’re engineered for precision. The fully machined and shot-peened surface adds a nice touch, enhancing durability and performance under pressure.
Now, let's talk specs. These rods are designed specifically for Chevrolet Big Block engines, with a center-to-center length of 6.700 inches. The big end width measures 0.99 inches, and they come equipped with 7/16" ARP 8740 bolts—so you know they’re built to handle some serious torque. Speaking of torque, you’ll want to torque these bad boys to 63 ft-lbs using ARP moly lube for optimal performance.
One of the standout features is that they’re bushed for a full-floating piston pin, which means smoother operation and better performance when you're pushing your engine to the limit. The housing bore is a solid 2.325 inches, and the rod journal measures 2.2 inches, giving you that perfect fit for your setup. Plus, the pin end width is 1.125 inches with a pin size of 0.99 inches, so you can really feel the quality in your build.
Just a heads up, these rods do contain nickel, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer, so be sure to check out the Prop 65 warning if that's a concern for you.
As for fitment, these rods are pretty universal, but I always recommend doing a little research to ensure they’ll work with your specific vehicle setup. It’s better to double-check than to assume, right? If you’re serious about your engine performance, these ESP 4340 Rods are definitely worth considering. They’re tough, reliable, and ready to take your performance game to the next level.
