They don’t put a rating in writing on them that I have ever found. Maybe call Molnar and ask them and let us all know as many of us probably wonder the same question, I know I do too.
RPMs would be 6,500, 6.200 connecting rod length on a 4.00 Stroke Crankshaft. I went with a 422 over a 426 mainly to have a better rod angle.
They’re H-beam

That should be the information a engineer at Molnar will need to give you an answer, hopefully.
I think your best bet is to contact Molnar and speak to them . Their rods are really good ( I have a set in my engine) .

They are H beam probably around 1000-1200 or so. I beams you can squeeze more out of them. The problem with H beam is that they tend to split in the middle and almost looks like they get delaminated. They are great for 99.9999999% of the cars that are on here for a rebuild. Never checked, but how many main bolts are there?
I agree with this .
Also the gen 3 Hemi is a cross bolted block mean it had 2 main bolts in from the bottom and 2 smaller ones in from the side on all 5 main caps .

Yeah, that would consider a 4 bolt main.
Half fill the block for SnGs if you are serious.
How much rwhp are you currently at?
I don't know as I have never dynoed the car . But I will be at the track this weekend so I will tell you how it does in the 1/4 mile .

Interesting, I was alway under the impression that H Beams were typically better but this is from seeing my dad build motors 6-7 years ago on SBCs.
Sounds good! Saw your signature and those are some great times. Definitely let me know
Molnar Rods work fine in my Redeye. I like rpm's. Stock cam is probably out of power range at 6500 but i have it shift at 6850. Car runs 9.60's on E85 at 4800lbs. After doing a search on Tom Molnar. I knew i was buying Molnar rods and crank for my engine. He has been in the Connecting rod business for many years.
I know they’re a reputable brand but just like anything else, they do have a limit.
I run molnars in my grand national. He has a
But more strength in his rods thus being a bit heavier. I am running 30-33# boost and have not bent a rod yet. yes, on e85
