Build your Dodge Viper 8.3L / 8.4L V10 rotating assembly around Manley 14083-10, a 10-piece connecting rod set in the H-Beam range. This version combines 6.240 in. center-to-center length, a 2.252 in. big-end housing bore and a 0.927 in. wrist-pin configuration with 7/16 in. ARP 8740 cap screws. The exact dimensions, material and supplied fasteners identify the rod combination you are buying.
Manley’s H-Beam construction brings forged 4340 steel and precision-finished rod geometry together in a practical performance-engine upgrade. The manufacturing process includes heat treatment, stress relief, shot peening and magnetic-particle inspection. Attention to the housing finish, threads, bend and twist gives this series the machining detail expected in a purpose-built rotating assembly.
The Viper version is supplied as a ten-rod set for the 8.3L/8.4L V10. Its 6.240 in. length and 2.126 in. crank journal define the application, while the listed standard and optional small-end configurations preserve the pin-size choices documented by Manley. The catalog specifies the Clevite CB1808P rod bearing for this arrangement.
The 0.9281 in. pin-end bore and 2.252 in. big-end housing bore describe the two rod ends, while the 6.240 in. center-to-center measurement defines rod length. The crankshaft journal configuration is 2.126 in., paired with the housing bore specified below. Average rod weight is approximately 670 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 8740 cap screws are part of this rod’s specification. This ARP 8740 version brings the stated fastener grade together with the 4340 steel H-Beam profile, pairing the documented fastener package with the forged rod construction.
