7.3L Ford Godzilla Rod
With Ford’s highly touted 7.3L “Godzilla” engine now available in crate motor form, many Blue Oval enthusiasts are contemplating employing it in a variety of applications. And for those seeking to amp up the engine’s power for competition, K1 Technologies has developed a robust H-Beam connecting rod to handle the increased stresses.
K1’s engineering team has designed a proven H-Beam forging for the 4340 chrome moly material that additionally offers increased strength and durability through better-aligned grain flow. The forging is precision machined and shot-peened to reduce potential stress risers and improve service life. The rod length is 6.319” center-to-center.
Added durability is assured through the use of premium ARP2000® rod bolts, which are nominally rated at 220,000 psi tensile strength and facilitate the higher clamping loads necessary for total reliability in competition applications.
