What's been done to the rods? Are they reconditioned? If they haven't been checked out I would not put them in the engine. If they aren't reconditioned at least take them to a machine shop and let them look at them, they'll usually look at them for free. Anything else is going to cost you.

What pistons are you using?

If you still have the 2.2 T1 pistons, then they 2.5 rods won't drop in. The 2.2 T1 pistons are pressed pin, the 2.5 rods are floating. You'd need new pistons. If you have 2.2 T2 pistons, the they should drop in...
