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.
