You can use the JE pistons with sotck rods. But since you have everything apart, why not throw a set of rods in there?

might as well get rods.. whatever rods you get, get stronger/upgraded bolts, like eagle rods can be fitted with stronger bolts for better reliability. - its all worth the money in long run.

You can use JE pistons on stock rods. The stock rods will probably work ok for 10psi. Personally I wouldn't waste my time throwing in a set of JE pistons without getting better rods. Eventually you'll want to run more than 10psi and the motor is going to have to come apart once again. That would be a waste of time and money. Do it right the first time! You'll pay for it in the long run if you don't. Good luck.
