Eagle Chrysler RB 426/440 / Chrysler Big Block 400 Standard Forged 4340 H-Beam Connecting Rods

In this set, you're getting a complete set of Eagle's forged 4340 steel H-beam connecting rods, specifically made for Chrysler RB 426/440 and Big Block 400 engines. These rods are built to handle serious power, featuring a robust H-beam design that's forged from 4340 steel. This material is known for its strength and durability, making it a popular choice for high-performance applications where reliability under stress is crucial.

Eagle starts with a two-piece forging process for these rods, ensuring a solid foundation before machining. The surface is then fully machined and shot-peened, a process that helps to relieve internal stresses and improve fatigue life, which is essential when you're pushing an engine hard. The sizing is held to exact tolerances, meaning they'll fit precisely where they need to go during your build. This set is weight-matched, so each rod in the engine assembly is virtually identical in weight, contributing to better engine balance and smoother operation. They come equipped with ARP 2000 bolts, which are a significant upgrade over standard fasteners, offering increased clamping force and the ability to withstand higher cylinder pressures and RPMs. These are recommended for competition use, so you know they're built for the demands of racing or serious performance builds.

When you're rebuilding a high-performance Big Block Mopar, using strong, reliable internal components like these connecting rods is key. They are designed to be a direct fit for the specified Chrysler engines, simplifying installation for experienced builders. Make sure to follow all manufacturer installation guidelines and torque specifications to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
