    If replacing just the crank, i would ask the machine shop if they have one that will magnaflux good. A cast crank will work just fine for your purposes. If you needed more than the crank, like pistons too, you might opt for a 383 kit from Scat or Eagle. Otherwise, a cast crank off craigslist will work just fine, have the machine shop magnaflux it for cracks and maybe turn it down to the next standard diameter for use with undersize bearings. They will turn 0.010", 0.020" or 0.030" undersize on the mains and/or rods.
