I believe the AEX pistons have a smaller diameter wrist pin so are instantly a no go.
If you are going to the effort of a rebore, I'd definitely look into getting some forged pistons.

Give Omega/Accralite a call - super helpful guys and a year or 2 ago they still had some G40 pistons on the shelf which they were looking to get shifted... to give you an idea on price they were about 1/2 to 2/3 of the price of the other forged options when I purchased a set.

Rod bolts can be had from Rottele racing in Germany - well worth replacing if you're going to the effort of the rest of the work.
