Bristol 400 rear axle gears
Dorien:
The pictures have been sent. I don't know Bill MacFarling but I have seen 3
or 4 Arnolts that were converted to Chevrolet. I almost did it myself after I
cracked a crankshaft, but I came to my senses and bought a new crank. The
suitability of the rear axle was one of the issues. The other was the class (with
Can-Am cars & such) that I would have to run with at the Monterey Historics. It
was only possible to qualify for entry because of some publicity that Wacky
had imported a couple of cars without engines with the intent of installing
Chevys. I asked Michael Arnolt about this and he said that his father had never
followed through on that.
