Ford Barra Conrods
​You're strapped to the dyno, pressure climbing past 30psi, and the only thing between glory and catastrophe is the strength of your bottom end. Every Barra builder knows that feeling – the moment when stock powdered metal rods become a liability rather than a component. At Dyno-Mite Performance, our forged Ford Barra conrods provide the bulletproof foundation your engine needs to chase serious power without fear.
We build our conrods from premium 4340 forged steel and engineer them specifically for the Barra's one-of-a-kind harmonics. Our design replaces the engine's most notorious weak point with race-proven reliability. Contact us today to get started.

Why Upgrade Your Ford Barra Conrods?
The factory Barra engine earned its legendary status by making 500kW on stock internals – an impressive feat that speaks to Ford's engineering. But as countless builders have found out, that's where the party ends. Push beyond this proven limit, and those stock powdered metal rods become a ticking time bomb, ready to ventilate your block and empty your wallet.
Our H-beam forged design addresses the specific failure points that plague high-pressure Barra builds:
​​
-
Superior tensile strength handles aggressive pressure and high RPMs
-
Precision balancing delivers smooth operation beyond 7000 RPM
-
ARP 2000 series bolt compatibility provides best possible big-end security
-
Weight-optimised design minimises reciprocating mass without sacrificing strength
Australian Made Quality for Ford Barra Conrods
Every set of Ford Barra conrods Australia customers receive from us comes 100% Australian made, from design to delivery. We source premium local materials, machine each rod in-house, and test them in the same record-setting engines that have made Dyno-Mite Performance a household name in the Barra community.
This isn't just about national pride – it's about quality control. When you're building an engine capable of four-figure horsepower, you need components made by people who understand the platform inside and out. Our team has specialised in Barra engines for over 20 years, and that industry experience shows in every rod we produce.
​
Perfect for Street and Strip Applications
Whether you're chasing consistent 10-second passes at Sydney Dragway or building a street-legal weapon for Drag Challenge, our conrods provide the reliability you need. We've seen too many builders lose entire seasons to failed internals – that's why we engineer our rods to handle everything from daily commutes to 35psi glory runs.
​
Engineered for Maximum Reliability
Each conrod undergoes stringent quality control, including:
-
Crack testing verifies material integrity
-
Precision weight matching achieves best possible balance
-
Big-end bore sizing meets exact tolerances
-
Surface finishing delivers superior fatigue resistance
