Build your Ford 4.6L Modular V8 stroker rotating assembly around Manley 14044-8, a 8-piece connecting rod set in the H-Beam range. This version combines 5.850 in. center-to-center length, a 2.125 in. big-end housing bore and a 22 mm (0.866 in.) wrist-pin configuration with 3/8 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.
This Ford Modular/Coyote family uses a 22 mm wrist-pin configuration. The stock-length versions measure 5.933 in. center to center, while the stroker versions use the shorter length and special crank journal stated for the individual part. Those details make the exact MPN more useful than a broad Ford V8 label.
The 0.8671 in. pin-end bore and 2.125 in. big-end housing bore describe the two rod ends, while the 5.850 in. center-to-center measurement defines rod length. The crankshaft journal configuration is 2.000 in., paired with the housing bore specified below. Average rod weight is approximately 605 g per rod, giving this exact MPN a useful weight reference alongside its dimensions. The pin end measures 0.940 in. wide.
The supplied 3/8 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.
