Carrillo Forged Pistons and Connecting Rods for Ford 7.3L Godzilla - Engine Builder Magazine

These pistons are forged from 2618T aluminum alloy and machined on dedicated CNC machine cells to tight tolerances. 2618 aluminum has a lower silicon content than other alloys. That makes the pistons stronger and more ductile—perfect for high-load, high-stress applications like superchargers, turbochargers, or nitrous oxide.  Related Articles - Summit Racing Pro SBC Turbo Camshaft - Aviaid Dry Sump System for Late Viper V10 Engines - Graymills’ Tempest MHF High-Pressure Manual Spray Washer

CP-Carrillo Pro-H H-Beam Connecting Rods

the CP-Carrillo Pro-H Connecting Rods are rated to handle up to 1,800 horsepower. They are forged from Carrilloy, a proprietary steel alloy with chrome, nickel, moly, and vanadium steel. After heat treatment, each connecting rod is Magnaflux inspected, hardness checked, and machined to final size. Each rod set is then balanced and shot-peened.

CP-Carrillo Pro-H Connecting Rods are available with 12-point cap screw rod bolts made from H11 tool steel or CARR multiphase steel. CARR bolts have asymmetrical threads so thread engagement is evenly distributed. This helps increase the clamp load and fatigue life.

CP-Carrillo Pro-H Connecting Rods are factory length (6.319 inch) and sold individually.
