    Truck pulls to the right.

    my guess is caliper on right side locking up, due to excessive wear either from pads or rotor or both. cud also be dirty piston,seal allowing debris into chamber, wore out cylinder where piston gets jammed up at end of its travel n wont return back into caliper to free up rotor to spin. caliper...

    Can you make a 305 stroker with 350 crank and rods?

    I'm not sure what rod you used 3.48 is stock rod length. from center point wrist pin to flat surface of block can not change or lowering compression cause you cannot increase piston height without head interference. I dont know rod length in an OPAL , but I do know a friend who used 350 pistons...

    Can you make a 305 stroker with 350 crank and rods?

    ah no, by changing rods , you need diff pistons with rod hole up higher or closer to rings, I'm pretty sure nobody makes them. just like 383, by changing crank in 350 , pistons wud come up outta cylinder 1/4" . head wud never bolt on, but since chevy performance made a crate 383, most top line...

    Can you make a 305 stroker with 350 crank and rods?

    yes partially right 400 crank into 350 block 4" bore plus 400 rods with 3.75" stroke special made piston to accommodate for long stroke is also internally balanced so also is needed harmonic balancer off 400 n flexplate or flywheel off 400. why the 383, the 400 was susceptible to overheating due...

    Can you make a 305 stroker with 350 crank and rods?

    No you can NOT make 305 stroker, wud require longer connecting rods as 305 uses same crank as 350, bore is 3.75 where 350 has 4." bore. totally diff block, not enough metal to open bore up that far, possibly get .030 over ,but blocks are boat anchors, way more torque use a inline six. 305 is...
