Rods should be okay unless you plan on racing. Just have them resized for trueness and (NDT, aka Zyglo or X-ray) inspected by the engine builder or an aircraft source and install good rod cap bolts. Dish top pistons will give you between 9.0:1 and 10.0:1 comp ratio, depending in the cc size of your heads. These components should perform well for years within the 400-500 HP range, as long as you red-line the thing at 5500.
