Eagle Ford 289/Boss 302 Forged 4340 Steel H-Beam Connecting Rods (Set of 8)

If you're building a high-performance Ford 289 or Boss 302 engine, especially for competition, strong connecting rods are a critical component. These Eagle H-beam connecting rods are forged from 4340 steel, a material known for its strength and durability under high stress. They are designed to handle the demands of a performance engine rebuild, ensuring reliable power delivery.

Eagle starts with a two-piece forging for these rods, which are then fully machined and shot-peened. This process creates a robust and consistent product. The shot-peening adds a layer of surface strength, helping to resist fatigue, while the precise machining ensures that the critical dimensions are held to exact tolerances. Sold as a weight-matched set, these rods help maintain engine balance for smoother operation and reduced vibration, which is especially important in a competition engine where every detail matters.

This set includes eight connecting rods, enough for a V8 engine. They are specifically recommended for competition use, indicating their suitability for engines that will be pushed hard. When rebuilding your engine, choosing well-built internal components like these forged rods is key to achieving your performance goals and ensuring the longevity of your build.
