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

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.:)
 
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)

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.
 
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
 
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.
