Eagle Dodge 5.7/6.1L Hemi 6.243 Length 4340 7/16in ARP 8740 Forged Steel Connecting Rods (Set of 8)

If you're building a Dodge 5.7L or 6.1L Hemi engine for serious performance, these Eagle connecting rods are a solid choice. They're built from forged 4340 steel, a material known for its strength and durability, making them well-suited for the demands of competition use. The H-beam design offers a strong structure that can handle increased power levels.

These rods are forged from a two-piece billet and then fully machined and shot-peened. This process helps to relieve stress in the metal and creates a smooth surface finish, which is important for longevity. Eagle holds the sizing to exact tolerances, and they come as a weight-matched set, ensuring that each rod in your engine assembly is as close as possible to the others. This attention to detail is crucial for proper engine balance and smooth operation, especially when you're pushing the limits.

What really sets these apart for high-power applications is the inclusion of ARP 2000 bolts. These are a step up from standard fasteners, offering even greater clamping force and the ability to handle higher cylinder pressures and RPMs. If you're planning on significant modifications or racing your Hemi, these connecting rods are built to handle the extra stress.
