you could use a 350 crankshaft to . it has the same 75 mm stroke . you have to re balance the crankshaft tho .

Thanks Eldert, I was wondering that. Actually if it came to it I just need the left hand web (flywheel side) if a complete crank is not available.

I don't think that you can match different crank halves, this has been discussed before and I don't think that the machining of each half will match up.

Cheers,
