No, 198 rods are what some guys are looking for. 170 rods will only work in a 170.
As for the value? Money wise, the 170 is nearly worthless. As far as what they should be worth? The 170 is probably the sweetest, most indestructible internal combustion device the world has ever known.
Chrysler engineers called it the "perfect engine". After daily driving one for the last 3 years, I absolutely have to agree.
