The wiff does great work Yes, they were the most recommended in the Northeast and had the most knowledge experience to work with my Mickey Thompson chassis (made from Titanium) and is NHRA certified to do the up grades need to re-certify it for 200 mph minimum.

hurstscrambler Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Brockton is Rocky Marciano's hometown I believe. I wish I was around as well, I live about an hour away and will be working even closer in Needham. It just probably wouldn't work out for me. Good luck, Andy Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53696-stop-off-in-mass-monday/#findComment-401624 Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first house (where my ex wife still lives) is one street over from the house that Marciano grew up in and 4 houses away from Hagler's mother's house. It's also about a ten minute walk to John's racecraft from that house.

66dc75 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Little bit of useless Brockton trivia. The building Johns racecraft is in was owned by Wayne Arms who owned the Wayroc C600 that went to Australia. Building still owned by his family as Wayne passed away last fall. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53696-stop-off-in-mass-monday/#findComment-401710 Share on other sites More sharing options...

41chevy Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 Eighth gear is .88 O.D but I also adapted a Gear Venders O.D. made for a Dodge 1 ton with a 6 speed trans. Had to make an adapter flange and sleeve, a modified cross member and a GPS speedometer. All done brings it down O.D. to .67 with the 3:91 rear. Both diffs also have Air Locs.
