SBC L/W 5140 Forged I-Beam Rods 5.700in

The SBC L/W 5140 Forged I-Beam Rods 5.700in from EAGLE are engineered for small-block Chevrolet engines demanding maximum reliability and power in street, strip, and competition applications. These connecting rods are purpose-built for builders and enthusiasts who refuse to compromise on rod quality when assembling high-performance or heavily modified engines.

Forged from premium 5140 chrome-molybdenum steel, these I-beam rods deliver superior strength-to-weight characteristics compared to cast alternatives, critical for reducing reciprocating mass and minimizing stress on the crankshaft and block. The 5.700-inch length is precisely engineered for SBC applications, maintaining the correct rod-to-stroke ratio essential for optimal piston speed and combustion chamber dynamics.

EAGLE's manufacturing process includes shot peening and precision machining to ensure consistent geometry and surface integrity across every rod in the set. These rods are ideal for engine builders upgrading their performance setups, whether for turbocharged daily drivers or high-performance racing applications.
