I don't understand why you would want to use the 198 rod and 2.2 turbo pistons. 198 rods are hard to find, then they would need "rebuilding"., and the pistons are still just a stock piston.
Just use a stock 225 rod, and piston. mill the block or head to get the CR in the range of 9.0 to 9.5 to 1, depending on what cam you run. We are talking a street engine, here. If you really want a "long rod" motor, do it right and get the Molner or K-1 rods and the Wiesco pistons.
