Speedmaster I-Beam Connecting Rods Ford

Speedmaster I-Beam Connecting Rods for Ford engines are forged performance connecting rods. They suit engine rebuilds, stroker builds and high-performance rotating assemblies. The I-beam design is a proven, durable layout for street performance, street/strip and racing use. The line is also called I-beam rods or forged connecting rods.

Key Features:

• Forged chromoly steel construction for a strong, fatigue-resistant rod
• I-beam design that adds some strength features usually associated with H-beam rods
• Weight-matched rods to help the rotating assembly stay balanced
• Shot-peened finish to improve fatigue life
• Magnafluxed to check for flaws
• 12-point cap screw fasteners for secure clamping force and reliable bolt retention
• One-rib cap design for added strength and bearing support in the models that use it
• Polished beams to reduce stress risers on the models that use them

Speedmaster offers this line in several configurations for popular Ford small block and big block engine families. Each part number lists its own length, journal and pin specifications, so you can match the rod to your build. These rods are a cost-effective upgrade for builders who want more strength and reliability than stock connecting rods offer.
