KB Chrysler Dodge Mopar 400 to 450 Stroker Pistons

Keith Black Mopar 400 Stroker Pistons

KB Hypereutectic Chrysler 400 Stroker Pistons

High performance KB Chrysler 450 stroker pistons offer a significant performance improvement for your engine, at a very affordable price. We have these piston sets available in a wide range of sizes including standard bore and many popular oversizes. If you are building a Chrysler, Plymouth, Mopar, Dodge 400 engine into a stroker by using a 440 3.750 stroke crank and are looking for improved performance, without the higher cost of forged pistons, KB performance pistons are an excellent alternative for many street, muscle car restoration, cruising and street / strip applications.

Chrysler 450 Engine Specs

For reference the original stock specifications were:

  • Engine block deck height 9.980 inches
  • Cylinder bore standard size 4.342 inches
  • Crankshaft stock stroke 3.380
  • Connecting rod length 6.358 inches
  • Wrist pin diameter 1.0940

We do not recommend hypereutectic pistons for use with superchargers, turbochargers, nitrous systems or for serious racing engines. For those applications we strongly recommend forged pistons. Our complete piston index list for stock replacement, cast, hypereutectic and forged pistons is available here: CE Engine Pistons Index

Chrysler 400 Stroker Connecting Rods

While you are replacing your engine pistons it is a good time to also upgrade your rotating assembly by installing modern connecting rods. Why risk damage to your rebuilt performance engine by using old stock connecting rods that have been through who knows what kind of abuse.

With the high cost of machine shop service these days you can often upgrade to far stronger modern rods for not much more than the cost of reconditioning a set of stock rods.

Molnar Technologies H Beam 400 B Engine 450 Stroker Connecting Rods

molnar 440 h beam connecting rods

Molnar Technologies H Beam rods are machined from billet 4340 steel, and then heat treated to provide improved strength. To make the rods even stronger, they are shot peened to which also increases fatigue life. All Molnar connecting rods are fitted with highly durable premium bronze bushings for use with floating pin type pistons. Each rod set includes ARP fasteners, moly lubricant and installation guidelines.

All Molnar rods are finished in the United States at the Molnar Technologies shop in Michigan. Critical rod dimensions are are held to very precise tolerances of +/- .0001 of an inch, which is the tightest tolerance you will find in the performance and racing aftermarket.

  • Description and Length Engine model that rod is made to for and length of the rod, as measured center to center, in inches.
  • Weight Weight in grams, of one complete connecting rod assembly
  • Bolt Size Bolt dimensions in inches, Rods come with ARP2000 fasteners installed
  • Rod Pin Size Crank rod journal diameter
  • Pin Size Piston pin diameter, in inches

Eagle Chrysler 400 Connecting Rods H Beam

Eagle 4340 Steel H beam rods are manufactured from a TWO-PIECE FORGING. The forging process forces the grain into the shape of a connecting rod, resulting in a superior fatigue life. The rod cap is forged separately so that the grain runs perpendicular to the load forces, which strengthens the rod.

Mopar 400 H Beam Connecting Rods

  • Installation instructions, torque specs and bolt lubricant included
  • ARP 8740 Capscrews are included, ARP 2000 bolt upgrade available at an additional cost
  • Silicon bronze bushings installed for use with floating wrist pins
  • Heat treated
  • Packaged in weight matched sets
  • Certified 4340 steel, vacuum degassed to remove impurities
  • Each forging is X-rayed, sonic tested and magnafluxed to insure quality
  • Shot peened to stress relieve the metal
  • Precision Alignment Sleeves positively locate the rod cap, maintaining big end bore size and eliminating cap walk.
