Question Rods

They`re all in the same price range, any preferences between brands? (Eagle, Lunati, Scat)

I've seen enough Eagles break in other applications to not trust them at all. What are in your motors currently?

Eagles that are perfectly fine but I`d like to upgrade to the ARP 2000 bolt.

Eagles are in my 540's w/ arp 2000 7/16 bolts....I like the alignment sleeves CNC is where I got them, that's a good price on the Lunati's

They're all import and not enough difference between them to lose sleep over. I would definitely opt for the ARP2000 bolts given the choices.

Just to throw this out there, Manleys are $650 from Jegs. +$60 more from Summit.

Another import forging. In that price range I'd look at Molnar rods over all the above.

Dan, in that price range go with the Callies comp star rods they are a great rod for that price range and have the arp 2000 bolts. But in my own personal stuff I run Oliver Billets big block-max and never look back.

I see you guys suggest this a lot. Since Molnar imports his stuff, also, and finish machines in house, what makes there stuff better ? It's a serious question, nothing more since I have never really heard of them other than from your shop.


Manley has been around for a long time making some killer stuff. Extreme example I was able to see during terdowns, A friend had a sbc set on his AMC 401 turning 10k.

All Molnar Technologies connecting rods are finished here in the US at our factory near Grand Rapids Michigan.
