I have searched and searched the internet even for the part number, part number P4532736 AB Lc. These rods are supposed to be high performance connecting rods. But I doubt if that is what these are. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

These were a heavy duty replacement rod. They tend to be very heavy, and yes as mentioned, the small ends dont have a ton of material around them. They basically are between a standard LY series rod and a HP or six pack rod. Not very good for any performance application as they are just simply too heavy. I have had several sets of them thru the shop and found the weights?balance to be horrible. They small end weights in particular can be way off, and the bushings are quite often not centered very well. Add that up with the thin bore area, and you cant balance the small ends. The quality control wasnt good. All that being said, maybe yours could be ok. They would make a good stock replacemnt or truck motor rod, thats about it. Not what you wanted o hear, but thats what you have. Not worth a ton of money. As someone mentioned, get 100-200 and be happy.
