This Chrysler 426 HEMI configuration combines a 7.100 in. rod length with a Big Block Chevrolet-style 2.200 in. crank journal. Its 2.325 in. housing bore and 0.990 in. wrist-pin arrangement define a specific extended-length rotating assembly for the classic HEMI engine family.
The 0.9911 in. pin-end bore and 2.325 in. big-end housing bore describe the two rod ends, while the 7.100 in. center-to-center measurement defines rod length. The crankshaft journal configuration is 2.200 in., paired with the housing bore specified below. Average rod weight is approximately 955 g per rod, giving this exact MPN a useful weight reference alongside its dimensions. The pin end measures 1.000 in. wide.
The supplied 7/16 in. ARP 2000 cap screws are part of this rod’s specification. This ARP 2000 version brings the stated fastener grade together with the 4340 steel I-Beam profile, pairing the documented fastener package with the forged rod construction.
