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.

LY rod was standard 440 rod from 66 to 71 or so.
It is forged....Weak link is factory rod bolt.

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.

I think the rods are forged, much stronger than cast.
