Big John's 90 day wonder: The Mazmanian ?68 Cuda When ?Big John? Mazmanian and his ?Armenian Army? made the switch from gassers to funny cars, it took only 90 days to get the 1968 Barracuda ready to blow out the competition with 7 second runs. This amazing machine featured a 4130 chromoly tube chassis constructed by Ron Scrima?s Exhibition Engineering. EE also combined a Ford housing, Watts linkage, a Detroit locker with a 3.90 gear, Henry?s axles, and Hurst Air-heart disc brakes to complete the rear assembly. While the chassis was in the making, John Kranenburg was rebuilding the early Chrysler ?58 392 Hemi motor with Ansen pistons, Isky 590 cam, Donovan valves, Mondello heads, and Enderle injectors. A GMC supercharger by VanLuven and a Cragar manifold topped it off. The custom body by Fiberglass Trends was expertly painted by Ruben Calazuelos in Maz?s trademark candy apple red. Tom Hanna was responsible for the super slick aluminum interior and all the chroming was done by California Electroplating. In one of the main races, the ?68 Cuda won the meet with an elapsed time of 7.75 and a top speed of 192 MPH, giving the NHRA fans a glimpse of the future of funny car racing.
