Performance Oriented 400-430-455 Connecting Rods at a Budget Friendly Price
TA Performance Products is now carrying Forged Steel Connecting Rods for the 400-430-455 Buick engines. These connecting rods are a direct replacement and a great, low cost performance upgrade over stock rods, and a cheaper alternative to our Sportsman rods. With the release of these rods, there is no need to recondition your set of stock rods as the price difference between reconditioned stock rods and these replacement rods is negligible compared to the peace of mind and reliability that these forged steel rods offer. Plus, because of the 4340 forged steel construction and H beam design, you can use these in a stock rebuild engine all the way up to a street/strip setup! These may be the last rods you buy for your big block Buick.
These H-Beam connecting rods are made from Forged 4340 Steel and have been shot-peened for improved fatigue life. The housing bore sizes are held to within +/- .0001” and are finish honed in the USA. The rods have double bridged caps to reduce housing bore distortion and there is no ridge between the blades acting as a stress riser. Rods are weight-matched to +/- 1 gram. Features Bronze wrist pin bushings and ARP cap bolts.
Note: These rods are a 0.990" pin fit rod to enable the use of a wider selection of Big Block Chevy wrist pins. They will need to be pin fit for use with a standard Buick 1.0" wrist pin.
