Bent Connecting Rods

Several weeks ago, I sucked some water into my intake, and bent two connecting rods.

The engine was upgraded a few years ago to the AMG 3.6L M104.941 engine. Now I've found out that Mercedes no longer sells the connecting rod. 
Apparently it's shared with a number of other engines, including the M111 engine. 

I'm looking for at least two
A1040300620

Any assistance would be appreciated.

I drop the "A" in searches and there will be a few more hits.

 I called them, and they don't sell connecting rods or similar parts.

RE: Bent Connecting Rods

I purchased two sets from Athens Greece. They were $10 each, so for an extra $60 I covered all what-ifs. 

I just dropped them off at the shop, so I'll let everyone know which length it ends up using.
