Stocker replacement rods

Coleydog · 11-29-2016, 02:37 PM

My question, can we use a floating pin if the engine came with pressed pins? I'm thinking no but... I have a new set of Eagles and was hoping I could use them.

Yes you can use floating pins. Bigger question - are the rods on the approved list?

Thanks for info
I purchased them with a maybe, dude said they where Eagles, h-beam, no markings that I've seen, but not used at least. The pistons I have are correct but no clip groves, are they allowed to be cut? If this gets to much I'll use the stock ly rods. I see no reason they won't last at 5500 tp 6000 rpm.

Careful, Eagle rods are all marked. Lots of Chinese crap copies out there.

We run LY rods with good bolts to 6800 regularly and have for 40 years. They are a lot better than some of the Junk out there! We do prefer Eagle and Manley stuff in higher budget builds.

If that's a 440 wedge, here is the only Eagle rod listed for it in the NHRA parts guide.

EAGLE
B.E. 2.500 S.E. 1.094 Length 6.760 Wgt 875
CRS6760C3D
413/426/440 Mopar

I run an Eagle crank. If it isn't stamped with their logo and part number, it's not an Eagle.
