size is not everything my friend, research the how the tecniques have shanged since the two rods were first made. plus consider the age of the two and the steps you will have to take to ensure that the rods themselves are not cracking. just a thought buddy.

1g big rods are definitely stronger than evo 8 OEM rods. They have put down strong numbers and can hold more power.

1g 6 bolt rods have long been proven stronger than 7 bolt rods in all applications Evolution and DSM. The stock hardware is alot beefier too, just look at the 14mm head bolt versus the 7 bolt's tiny 12mm's. This is probably one of the reasons Evo guys go to ARP hardware on stock rods due to flinging off rod caps at high RPM's/power levels. ARP hardware was never a major upgrade on the 1g cars.
However I would at least have them scoped out by a reputable machine shop and maybe shot peened before using them, unless you know they came out of a good low milage un abused engine.
