Default H-Beam Rods & Forged Pistons Group Buy

Redbitz Performance are proud to bring this 'Group Buy' to all the ScoobyNet members.

Manley :

In March, 1966, Manley Speed Equipment, Inc. was founded by Hank Manley shortly after his graduation from Brown University. His interest in performance and racing traced back to 1960 when at age seventeen he rebuilt a 312 CID Ford V-8 engine, installed a camshaft and three two-barrel carburetors, and raced a 1956 Thunderbird on the streets of New Jersey.

Initially the line included stainless valves, forged pistons, camshafts, lifters, vanadium valve springs, push rods and timing chain kits. The first catalog was mimeographed paper. The address of the company, prophetically, was 13 Race Street in Bloomfield, New Jersey. A name change to Manley Performance Products, Inc soon followed.

Don Garlits, Bo Laws and Joe Mondello were early customers and their race cars appeared on the cover of the 1969 catalog. In 1971 a decade-long relationship began with legendary Bill Jenkins and Grumpy’s Toy made its initial appearance on the cover of a Manley catalog. The flamboyant Funny Car showman “Jungle Jim” Liberman was also a prized customer and friend.

Hank’s son, Trip Manley, spent the summertime during his youth learning the trade while working in the valve department at Manley Performance. In 1987, Trip had the opportunity to work for the Gywnn family on Darrell’s Top Fuel team. This was the experience of a lifetime, not only being employed by the Gywnns and learning about the Fuel car, but traveling the country and getting a first-hand education from guys like Chris Cunningham and Mike Green (Mike has been a top crew chief for many years since his early days maintaining the cylinder heads for Darrell). Before entering his final year of college in 1988, Trip worked for American Eagle Marine, an offshore boat racing team in Torrance, CA, in the engine department; primarily focused on cylinder head development.

After completing his academic education, Trip was off to New England; to run the northeast sales territory for Manley Performance. Two years later he took over the Sales Manager position and today he and his management team, consisting of Michael Tokarchik (G.M.), Gil Morejon (CFO) and Peter Coleman (Manufacturing Manager), run the company’s day to day operations.

Manley H-Beam Connecting Rods :

For the budget conscious enthusiast, we also offer our very high quality, yet economical, H-Beam design connecting rods. These are also manufactured from 4340 alloy forgings. They are fully machined, heat treated, stress relieved, shot peened, and magnafluxed. They also are built standard with 3/8” ARP 2000 bolts.
All Manley connecting rod sets, are weight matched to ± 1.5 grams, big and small end bores are final honed to a tolerance of ± .0002”, critical bend and twist attributes are held to a minimum, and exacting attention is paid to every detail by our final inspection department; thus rendering a finished product that is second to none.



Manley Platinum Series Pistons :

Manley pistons are machined of high strength 2618 material. Each design is lightweight yet robust enough to deliver long service life. Perfect ring groove to skirt squareness is achieved through our unique “one fixturing” manufacturing method that assures maximum horsepower. Round wire locks, tool steel wrist pins, and rings are included with every set at no additional charge.



  • 2618 alloy for maximum high temperature strength and fatigue resistance.

  • “Contour forgings” provide the optimum balance between strength and weight with no grain-interrupting internal milling.
  • Proprietary multi-step top ring groove machining process assures optimum control of the groove’s size, geometry, flatness, and finish.
  • All final turning is performed in one fixturing resulting in complete squareness of rings to the cylinder wall.
  • Federal Form-Scan gauging validates ideal skirt indexing to pinhole and skirt-to-skirt polarity.
  • Value – added features such as a pressure balance groove included in all series.
  • Precise pinhole machining results in an exact compression distance as well as precise lock ring groove spacing, size, and concentricity.

Manley Sport Compact Platinum series pistons come complete with pistons, rings, pins, and locks
