Would be most likely better than the 1963-1965 Rubber Rods.
In a tame street motor they would be new and if the machining was properly done live as long as all of the rest of the Chinese import rods. Eagle, Manley, etc.

The steel used and the MACHINING make the difference.

This is a quality off shore connecting rod as the machining is very good:

I agree. Tom Molnar worked at Oliver for many years before starting his own company. Very sharp guy and all machining done in house(he does a lot of it himself). My next motor will have his forged crank and rods in it. If anyone is skeptical, call the man.
