You could have your rods bushed and pins fitted, and locks are pretty standard, inexpensive, even if you got a set from Autotec. That on top of your existing machine work is still not inexpensive. You're probably better off just going with what you have at this point, to avoid project creep.
You could estimate the costs between the different approaches and see where you're at, then make a decision, but the easiest would be to just use the parts you have.

Wrong or right I said the hell with it and ordered some molnars,, 4340. , bushed for floating pistons. Shouldnt I be able to use my existing autotec pistons?...I looked for the spiral clips that came with them but obviously never used… long gone.I’ll try to sell my 4130s and recoup some of the money. The molnars were 730.00 and come with arp 2000 bolts installed. If anything it makes me feel better,, lol. Overkill I’m sure.
