Eagle Chrysler 340/360 H-Beam Connecting Rod (Set of 8)

If you're rebuilding the engine in your 1972-1978 Chrysler Newport, especially for performance or competition use, a strong set of connecting rods is crucial. These Eagle H-beam connecting rods are built to handle the demands of a high-performance small block Mopar engine. They are designed to be a direct replacement for your factory rods, ensuring a proper fit during your engine build.

Crafted from forged 4340 steel, these rods start as a two-piece forging that is then fully machined and shot-peened. This process creates a well-built and durable component that can withstand higher stresses than stock rods. The sizing is held to exact tolerances, which is important for proper bearing clearance and overall engine health. They are sold as a weight-matched set, meaning each rod in the set is precisely balanced to ensure smooth engine operation and reduce vibration. This attention to detail is what you want when building an engine for competition.

This set includes eight connecting rods, enough for a complete V8 engine. While these are recommended for competition use, their robust construction also makes them a solid choice for a street performance build where reliability and strength are key. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details regarding bearing installation and torque specifications.
