What material are these connecting rods made from?

These Manley Pro Series I-Beam connecting rods are available in two robust materials: forged 4340 steel alloy or 300M vacuum degassed steel alloy. Both are chosen for their exceptional strength and durability under high-performance conditions.

Are these rods suitable for racing applications?

Yes, certain versions of the Manley Pro Series I-Beam connecting rods have earned NHRA Legal certification. This means they meet the standards required for Stock and Super Stock racing categories, indicating a high level of performance and reliability.

What does the 'stroker' designation mean for these rods?

The 'stroker' designation, along with the 5.85-inch length and 22mm pin size, indicates these rods are specifically intended for use in engines modified with a longer-stroke crankshaft. This configuration increases engine displacement and requires connecting rods with specific dimensions to maintain proper geometry and clearance.

About this part

Product Details

If you're building a high-performance Ford 4.6L Modular V8, especially a stroker engine, you need connecting rods that can handle the extra stress. These Manley Pro Series I-Beam connecting rods are built for that purpose. They feature a 22mm pin size and a 5.85-inch length, specifically chosen to work with stroker configurations for this popular Ford V8.

Manley makes these rods from either forged 4340 or 300M vacuum degassed steel alloys, depending on the specific SKU. Both materials are well-known for their strength and ability to withstand the high cylinder pressures and rotational forces found in performance engines. Some versions of the Pro Series I-Beam rods even carry NHRA Legal certification, which means they meet the standards for Stock and Super Stock racing classes, giving you confidence in their durability for serious competition.

You can also choose from different weight options, like Tour Lites, Lightweights, Standard Weights, and Heavy Weights, to best match your engine's specific build and performance goals. These rods are a solid choice for anyone looking to push their Ford 4.6L Modular V8 beyond its factory limits.
