Build your Chevrolet Small Block V8 rotating assembly around Manley 14339-8, a 8-piece connecting rod set in the Tour Lite I-Beam range. This version combines 5.700 in. center-to-center length, a 2.015 in. big-end housing bore and a 0.875 in. wrist-pin configuration with 3/8 in. ARP 2000 cap screws. The exact dimensions, material and supplied fasteners identify the rod combination you are buying.
Tour Lite is Manley’s weight-focused Pro Series I-Beam option for competition engine combinations. Fully machined forged 4340 steel gives the rod its finished profile, with machining directed toward the series’ strength-to-weight balance. Shot peening after machining and individual magnetic-particle inspection are part of the Pro Series manufacturing approach. The published per-rod weight identifies this particular length and journal configuration.
For a Small Block Chevrolet build, rod length and crank journal size are defining parts of the rotating assembly. This configuration brings those dimensions together with its stated wrist-pin size, making the set a clear choice for an engine combination designed around the listed length and journal arrangement.
The 0.8761 in. pin-end bore and 2.015 in. big-end housing bore describe the two rod ends, while the 5.700 in. center-to-center measurement defines rod length. The crankshaft journal configuration is 1.8885 in., paired with the housing bore specified below. Average rod weight is approximately 548 g per rod, giving this exact MPN a useful weight reference alongside its dimensions. The pin end measures 1.000 in. wide.
The supplied 3/8 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.
