I think that unless you are going to run your engine at the salt flats at very high rpms, that Henry's C crank , even drilled correctly for full oil pressure, is as good as WE have it right now. I will add that I have a C drilled crank in my present B short block build, that used to live at Bonneville, until the rear flange was snapped off of the crank. The crank was welded with new flange and I'm pleased to be able to use it again. Those boys that run at the salt use these A/B engines harder than any of us guys will. Hope this helps you out in your thinking. Of course if you are set on A sized rod throws, you can have the full sized B throws cut down..lol

SCAT makes a counterbalanced Model A crank with the correct 1.625" main journals; http://www.scatcrankshafts.com/produ...e/crankshafts/
