so your friend has more cranks, how much would the going rate be?
Yeah

I got a Penta AQ171C crank form ebay. You can find them there cheap but it takes some patience. I payed like $225 for mine with rods and chewed up pistons. The crank is forged too.
I will be using Penta pistons as well. I'm waiting to order them until I have the block bored (clean up) so I can be sure to get the right oversize. The CR is like 9.5:1 which is less than the B230f+t CR so I think it'll take to boost just fine. Penta pistons (AQ171C) have valve relifs cut already so it will allow use of a 16v head. AQ151C pistons are good for 8v applications.
I know this thread is exploring non-penta options but I think that Penta parts are probably the cheapest and easiest as they don't need modification. The avalibility is the only real limiting factor here but just keep looking....they are out there to be had.
I'm also planning on being able to swap stronger pistons/rods in at a later time.
