Changing the connecting rod or piston could have an effect on your compression ratio but will have no effect on the stroke. The only way to change the stroke is to change the crank. Typically an increase in stroke is to increases torque. A decrease in stroke is to increase RPM.

Stroke is determined by the crank shaft.

i agree. mounts to the two bottom bolts that hold the side cover on. second is also part of the parking brake assembly. one end hooks in the a cross member just rear of the transmission and the other end attaches to a spring that is then hooked to the parking brake cable. the spring helps release the parking brake
