so its way to expensive to buy a new one with counter balance weights.
and a 32 crank is rare...and has a bad habit to break in half.

is there any place where i can send my stock model a crank in, and have them machine on counter weights and balance it?
if so where?
 
Never heard of a B crank breaking any more often than an A. The blocks are supposed to be a bit more fragile but I think the cranks are fine. There are new cranks available.
 
Dan Price at http://www.dan4banger.com/ swedges the counterweights on like the so called BB crank, which was Ford's way of later adding counterweights to the original non-counterweighed B cranks. No welding, no regrinding of journals. He also has 28 lb flywheels which match up nice with his counterweighted crank, which is heavier than the welded counterweighted cranks. I personally like that combination because it moves the weight forward more evenly across the crank. Others may disagree.
 
We used the Burlington crank in the Model A Times sedan project and liked it so much that this year we went and got another to put in the roadster.
 
JOHN, HAVE THEY put one of those new engines together and tested it . Im referring to the new cast block with 5 journals? /John/Josh
 
They have not put one together. Right now the goal is to have many of the parts if not the complete engine by the Turlock Swap Meet which is the last weekend of January.
