About this part

Product Details

In this set, you get a complete set of Manley Pro Series I-Beam connecting rods, specifically designed for the Ford Mustang Ecoboost 2.3L Turbo engine, along with ARP2000 bolts to secure them. These aren't just any connecting rods; they are a critical component for anyone looking to build a high-performance or racing engine. The connecting rod's job is to transfer the power from the piston down to the crankshaft, and doing that reliably under extreme stress is what these rods are made for.

Manley builds these Pro Series rods from forged 4340 vacuum degassed steel alloy, a strong material chosen for its ability to handle significant stress and heat. They are designed with an I-beam cross-section, which offers a good balance of strength and weight. The inclusion of ARP2000 bolts means you're getting robust fasteners known for their reliability in high-stress applications, ensuring a secure connection between the rod and the crankshaft. Some rods in this series are even NHRA legal for specific racing classes, which speaks to their robust design and performance capabilities.

When you're pushing an Ecoboost 2.3L engine beyond its stock limits, especially with turbo upgrades, the factory connecting rods can become a weak point. Upgrading to a set like these Manley Pro Series rods is a smart move to ensure your engine can handle the increased power and torque reliably. They are a solid option for rebuilding the top end of your engine or preparing it for serious performance tuning.
