Well - not to my knowledge - The Powdered Metal process is generally used for mass production and not as strong as your typical forged steel connecting rods

Powdered metal con rods are OE equipment for new 5.7 and 6.1 hemis and are considered the weak link in the entire engine. Common is to replace them with standard forged steel rods.
