Performance Construction:

Sportsmaster combines a stock-appearing I-Beam profile with forged 4340 steel and ARP 8740 fasteners. Manley positions the series for stock-level replacement and mild to moderate performance builds. Its machined beam and cap details make it a useful choice for an engine combination where a traditional rod profile, defined dimensions and purpose-made performance hardware matter.

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 0.9281 in. pin-end bore and 2.225 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 2.100 in., paired with the housing bore specified below. Average rod weight is approximately 565 g per rod, giving this exact MPN a useful weight reference alongside its dimensions. The pin end measures 0.980 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 I-Beam profile, pairing the documented fastener package with the forged rod construction.
