I have a set of Eagle rods I'm going to be using in my new engine. They have the ARP 8740 Chrome Molley rod bolts in them now.

Does anyone have an idea of these rods HP limit?

Would I gain anything having ARP L-19 bolts installed? Would I need to resize/rehone if I change rod bolts?

This car has eagle rods init, and it pegs the dyno with ease. No telling how long they'll last though. Nothing like a 1.34 60' on the back tire.

vid won't work for some reason. What kind of HP numbers did it put down? I'm hoping to make about 600 crank (500rwhp). I MIGHT (still don't know) do a 100-150 shot some time down the road just to do it but I'm not sure yet.

I make 746rwhp with Eagle rods and L19 ARP rod bolts.

The mustang made over 1200rwhp. I think you'll be ok.

I would highly recommend the L19 bolts. I would also have your machinist check the housing bore of the rods regardless, especially if the bolts are changed. Eagles rods are good rods for the money, but they do need to checked out of the box prior to assembly.

Exactly what Jason said! Go with the L19 hardware and recheck the housing bore. You will be fine at your expected HP.
