burlington crank
 

Does anyone know of any distributor that still has Burlington counterbalanced cranks on the shelf or Scat the only one out there now?

Re: burlington crank
 

There very well may be one hidden out there that is available but most of us have used them up. Scat is pretty much the show now. Rich Fallucia would be the only possibility I could think of.

Re: burlington crank
 

There's always Crower or Moldex.

Re: burlington crank
 

Rich has 6 but won't sell outright.

Re: burlington crank
 

We have two left: and guess what they are for sale.
Let us know if you're interested.

Snyder's has them listed in the catalogue.

Re: burlington crank
 

Snyder's does not have any more Burlingtons, only Scat.

Re: burlington crank
 

Are you just funning us? Did they really make A and/or B model cranks?

Re: burlington crank
 

Dead serious.
There are quite a few running in vintage race engines.
They will make a crank for any engine you can come up with.

Re: burlington crank
 

I also have a Moldex crank it is 1 of the best made cranks I have seen

Re: burlington crank
 

Roger on that.
We are running a Crower in our flathead Cadillac powered Bonneville car.
It is the same quality.

Re: burlington crank
 

Moldex has been around for a while....I remember when most folks around here considered the top of the line to be Moldex and Hank the Crank. I remember Crower cams back then, but didnt hear about their cranks until later. Maybe I just didnt know.:)
I guess with everything being CNC now, its not as big of a thing to whittle out a billet crank as it once was, although I imagine it still takes quite a few pictures of dead presidents to cover anything other than a standard run-of-the-mill SBC.
I'll be the first to admit I can be narrow-minded about using modern technology on the old stuff...Thanks Pete for pointing out there are other options than those we hear about all the time....as long as you have the dust to cover it.:)

Re: burlington crank
 

Just in case anyone sees this post. Both cranks have been sold.

Re: burlington crank
 

Rich had a sign up at Hershey that he still had some, and he says that someone bought the rights to make and sell them, and Rich will soon have pistons taking modern rings, and modern design (like the chevy pistons but not needing special rods)

Re: burlington crank
 

I'm pretty sure Rich is saving those Burlington for his own rebuilt engines and are not for re-sale outright. Did he tell you differently??

As for the rights, yes we spoke about that earlier here and it is a guy from Texas however according to my source from someone I would say is 'in the know', at best it was going to be at least a year before they would be for sale, --if then.

Rich is saying by the end of the year he is hoping to have that new piston ready to ship. There is a couple of issues they are working through on the wrist pin but he says it will be top-notch when it goes to market. I inspected it and am super excited to see it first-hand.

Re: burlington crank
 

He had a sign ---"I still have Burlington cranks" it didn't say that he was only selling with engine, but I didn't ask

Re: burlington crank
 

Ohh OK, I understand now. I'm pretty sure his booth was promoting his engine rebuilding services ...and not parts sales.

Re: burlington crank
 

What with Tod's block & Head, Bill Stipe's camshaft, Rich's Pistons & Rods, Burlington Crank (whenever they are made again), Dan's timing & Crank gears, Stainless valves, One piece guides, adjustable lifters, etc, etc . . .

Now if someone would just offer a complete long block ;)

Then there's Rupert's water pump, Berg's radiator, Stipe's oil pump, Mike's oil filter, (and on, and on) ...

Got just about everything covered.

Hey Carl,
Well not quite everything....how about Winfields crank balancer and and carbs and Williamsons 32 lb flywheel and Crower rods :cool:

Re: burlington crank
 

Rich told me he only sells the cranks with a rebuild. $500 more and he will add the crank.
