Eagle Chrysler 5.7/6.1L Hemi 6.243in 4340 H-Beam Connecting Rods w/ .945 Pin (Set of 8)

Eagle has a solid reputation for making well-built engine components, and these connecting rods are a prime example. If you're working on a Chrysler 5.7L or 6.1L Hemi engine, especially for competition use, these rods are designed to handle the extra stress. They are built from forged 4340 steel, which is a strong material chosen for its ability to withstand high loads and temperatures.

What sets these rods apart is their construction. They start as a two-piece forging, then undergo a fully machined process and are shot-peened. This shot-peening process creates a stronger surface finish by introducing compressive stress, which helps them resist fatigue and cracking under demanding conditions. Eagle holds the sizing to exact tolerances, ensuring that each rod in the set is weight-matched. This attention to detail is crucial for engine balance and longevity, especially when you're pushing the limits.

This set includes eight connecting rods, all weight-matched to ensure consistent performance. The .945-inch pin size is specified for compatibility with many Hemi applications. When you're building an engine for competition, using strong, precisely made components like these Eagle connecting rods is essential for reliability and performance.
