maybe rocket ron?www.ronsrocketparts.com/connectingrods.htm
They look similar, but without the speed holes. Do they use bearings?

No bearings. I have a set of PVT and they look different. Maybe older ones? Your right, they do look like Rons.

I have a few sets of some older PVT rods and they look just like these.

YUP those are the older PVT looked at my 03 pics where I built a vanny using them only time I used them but still got some pic. Good rods though. They ran 7 race seasons then it dropped a valve.

Great to know. Thanks for the replies. Just got them for a 30CI project I'm playing with. With the smaller big ends I have room to play in the block.
