Just saw this listed on ebay, but I'd guess it's an early V8 crankshaft.

I "think" it's a V-8???? WOW, look how SMALL the flywheel mounting flange is!!

Mitch, is Tom looking for a crank ? I got two engines with my truck, the original and a extra 5 bearing cam, w/new style crank, .010 pistons, painted a nice green. I would give the guy, that helped me build the original motor, the extra one. Plus a Delcolight Plant, that I believe I gave someone already ? Memory is fading fast ;) Thanks, PatModel A's and of course the famous AA'sComment

I don't need a crank, but just noticed this one on ebay.
The crank throws appear to be 90 degrees apart, which means a V8 or someone made a 4 cylinder into an uneven fire.Comment

I think you are right it looks like a early V8. Does this mean I will not be the only one with a uneven fire engine.Originally posted by Tom Wesenberg View PostComment

I noticed when looking to purchase replacement bearing that they list standard size plus additional oversized sized. Why are there oversized sizes, Is this to do with the original block size variations?12-30-2017, 07:44 AM -
I know vendors today manufacture counterbalanced crankshafts for Model A's (SCAT & Burlington). I also know that many vendors today modify non-balanced cranks into balanced cranks by welding on weights, straightening the cranks and regrinding.
I also know of the Model B cranks with integral counterweights, plus the BB cranks with swedged-on counterweights. I also know that some have taken...05-07-2021, 10:39 PM -
I am looking to build a strong, smooth running touring motor preferably without having to spend the big $ to buy a new crankshaft (about $3,500 by the time it is here) and I've have heard of people grafting a counterbalanced B crankshaft into an A block but I haven't seen any details on it. Has anybody out there done it or know anything about it? I have a crank and rods ready for it.
I see a...12-21-2019, 06:04 PM -
I have been sitting here thinking about what to do with the engine/blocks that I have around here and it occurred to me that I have a complete broken B motor that I think is past the point of repair, but the components are in real good shape.
So, since the B has a counterbalanced crank with the larger journals and I have a perfectly good A block that only needs babbit, which I can pour...05-25-2021, 09:19 PM -
There are lots of opinions about the proper way to store a crankshaft. Laying it down vs standing it upright. Some say that laying it down can lead to it bending over time. Others say it does not matter either way is fine. I have seen them shipped with the mains supported at times. So which is it? Your comments are welcome and the poll is not public.

I am dyslectic so i am a little slow to learn. Everyone says the crank pully must stand proud of the crank shaft. Makes sense until I look closely at the crank nut. It has a male taper at the base of the threads and the crank has a matching female taper. To me this is the intended locking mechanism. If so, the pully cannot stand proud very much or you defeat this conical mating surface. Am...03-27-2021, 10:40 AM -
I am reaching out to members in the US because it is a very different market over there with stuff available that would be very difficult or impossible to find here. First, some background:
One of my cars has a B engine fitted which runs beautifully. It is my favourite and I think the counterweighted crankshaft is a large part of that. The bearings have inserts. I do not see inserts listed for...05-30-2020, 10:53 PM -
I have a question this is something i have never done before, but here goes i have a friends engine here the babbit in the rear main is cracked a a piece broke off, i am thinking about pulling the crank and checking the condition of the babbit in the block if it is ok i can get re-babbitted main bearing caps and hand fit everything back. i would also need to remove the pistons and rods to get enough...08-25-2021, 08:50 AM -
This could be a good deal for someone building an engine with a modification for a stronger and counterweighted crank.

First of all this was not my attempt
What can you knowledgable Model A guys tell me about this attempt to balance this A motor ?
here are the facts:
- The motor has only about 5 hours on it after rebuild and balanced.
- no matter the positioning of the flywheel in relation to the pressure plate it would shake the fillings out of your teeth.
- using a fairly accurate kitchen...You do not have permission to view this gallery.
