Just use the bottom end from the 98, and keep all your other parts, by far the easiest option.

No, the std rods will let go if you get much over 350bhp, if not before. STI piston will struggle at that power also. You really need to go forged or get a new age STI bottom end.

Cheers.
I was aware that they're not great as forged items go, but was 'hoping' they'd handle 400. :( |
