If you’re diving into the world of performance builds, you’re going to want to check out these Forged 4340 Steel H-Beam connecting rods. These aren’t just any rods; they’re crafted from a two-piece forging process, giving them a solid, reliable structure that can take the heat—literally. The surface is fully machined and shot-peened, which not only enhances durability but also helps with fatigue resistance. You’ll appreciate the attention to detail here; sizing is held to exact tolerances, so you know you’re getting quality.
Now, if you’re working with a Chevrolet Small Block, these rods come in at a length of 6.000 inches, making them a great fit for a variety of builds. Just make sure you specify the weight you need when you order. They’re recommended for competition use, so you know they’re built to perform under pressure.
Here’s a quick rundown of the specs: the big end width is 0.94 inches, and they come with 7/16" ARP 8740 bolts, which are known for their strength. They’re also bushed for a full-floating piston pin, adding to their versatility. The center to center length is 6 inches, and the housing bore measures in at 2.225 inches. The pin end width is a solid 1.06 inches, with a pin size of 0.927 inches. And let’s not forget the rod journal, which is 2.1 inches. When it comes to torque, you’ll want to set it to 63 ft-lbs using ARP moly lube only—don’t skimp on that!
One thing to keep in mind is that while these rods are designed to fit a range of vehicles, it’s always a good idea to do your homework on compatibility. You want to make sure they’ll work with your specific setup. The part number you’re looking for is CRS6000B3D-1, which is the Eagle Specialty Products 4340 Rod, 6.000" 2.100 Rod.
Just a heads up, this product does contain nickel, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer, so keep that in mind if you’re in that area.
In short, if you’re serious about your engine build and need rods that can handle the power, these Forged 4340 H-Beam rods are worth considering. They’re tough, reliable, and ready to take your performance to the next level.
