What's Included

  • ARP main studs, pistons (your choice of bore/spec), and connecting rods (your choice of brand)
  • Basic blueprinted assembly: balanced crank, pistons, and rods
  • Machine work: balancing, align bore, final hone, step deck
  • All rod options include ARP 2000 rod bolt hardware

Connecting Rod Options

All three rod options are overbuilt for their class and include ARP 2000 rod bolts — any of them will outperform the factory rod significantly. Choose based on your power goals and budget:

  • Eagle H Beam — 750 HP Rated | ARP 2000 Hardware
    4340 chromoly steel, proven H-beam design. Excellent strength-to-weight ratio for high-boost street and track builds. A trusted industry standard.
  • Brian Crower H Beam — 750 HP Rated | ARP 2000 Hardware
    4340 chromoly steel, H-beam profile with tight manufacturing tolerances. A strong alternative to Eagle with comparable ratings for street/track applications.
  • Manley Turbo Tuff I Beam — 950 HP Rated | ARP 2000 Hardware
    Premium 4340 chromoly, I-beam design engineered for extreme-duty, high-boost, and race applications. Rated 200 HP higher than the H-beam options — the choice for builds pushing the limits or leaving headroom for future power upgrades.

What is Core Exchange?

A core exchange means you send us your used engine components in place of purchasing new outright — this reduces your cost. There are four options at checkout:

  • Customer Core with Crank — You send us your block AND crankshaft. Lowest price.
  • Customer Core no Crank — You send us your block only. Mid price.
  • Customer Crank no Core — You send us your crankshaft only. Mid price.
  • No Exchange — We supply everything. Highest price, no core required.

Core Exchange Policy

  • Core blocks must be free from defects. Golden Eagle Mfg. reserves the right to deny any core exchange for any reason.
  • Accepted cores: Honda/Acura B18C engine blocks with main cap assemblies, and matching B18C crankshafts.
  • Crankshafts must be in pristine condition — no gouges, no scratches, all journals smooth. Denied cranks will be returned at the customer's shipping expense.
  • Inbound and return shipping costs for denied cores are not the responsibility of Golden Eagle Mfg.

Additional Notes

  • Free shipping within the contiguous 48 U.S. states. All other destinations will be calculated and a $130.00 credit applied.
  • Upon ordering, our staff will contact you before funds are fully processed to confirm your build details.
  • No warranty is provided on built short blocks. All sales are final — no returns.
