I called Molnar, center counter weights were not available from them, so they got crossed off my list. But I haven't ordered yet. Most of the CCW cranks I have checked into are heavy as a battleship. It would be nice to get one that was as light as possible.

I ask them about building me a light weight fully counter balanced steel billet custom crank for the same application, they said no again So my message is count me in for some as long as we can get the stroke and main bearing journal size I want Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

Even given the motivation there would be a likely a 2 year wait for this new product (new die etc.) but as of now there is not sufficient motivation. Sorry but, nothing ventured nothing gained.

AFAIK, Miller only produced 1 car v16 and a pair of marine v-16's. How you you end up with a crankshaft for one "in stock"? Strange!

The moldex facebook page might be more up to date.
