The Speedmaster PCE274.1039 H-beam connecting rods are precision-engineered performance components designed for Ford 289, 302, and Windsor engine applications. These rods feature a robust H-beam design with 5.400" length, 2.100" big-end bore, and .912" pin bore, constructed from 4340 steel and fitted with bronze bushings for durability and smooth operation. Built to withstand high-RPM demands, they are ideal for street builds, race engines, and performance restorations where reliability and strength are critical.
The 4340 steel construction provides excellent fatigue resistance and tensile strength, while the bronze bush design offers low-friction performance and extended component life. These connecting rods are a direct replacement for original Ford powerplant configurations and are commonly used in performance modifications, vintage race vehicle builds, and high-output street engines. Whether you're rebuilding a classic Ford engine or upgrading an existing platform, these precision components deliver the durability and performance required for demanding applications.
