From grassroots drag racing roots in New Jersey to a second manufacturing facility in Orange, California, Manley has built a legacy supplying components trusted by racers including Don Garlits and Bill Jenkins, while also serving as an OEM supplier recognized by manufacturers including Ford.

Platforms Manley Performance Serves

Manley's connecting rod and valve catalog spans Ford Modular and Coyote engines including the GT350 Voodoo 5.2L, Chrysler 5.7L HEMI, Toyota 2JZ, Subaru EJ20, EJ25, and FA20, Nissan SR20DE and SR20DET, Mazda MZR 2.3L DISI turbo, Mitsubishi 4B11T Evolution, Honda B16A and H22, and Dodge Neon SRT-4 2.4L applications.

Connecting Rods for Import and Domestic Builds

Manley H-Beam and H-Tuff connecting rod sets are engineered to the specific center-to-center length and pin diameter of each supported engine, from the Toyota 2JZ to the Subaru WRX and STI EJ205 and EJ257. H-Tuff Plus rods add extra strength margin for higher horsepower turbocharged applications on the same platforms.

Pistons, Valves, and Crankshafts

Manley Race Master Series valves are sized specifically for engines like the Ford GT350 Voodoo and Coyote Gen III, while forged crankshafts, including the 4.050 inch stroke option for the Chrysler 5.7L HEMI, extend displacement for serious naturally aspirated and boosted builds.
