b series cranks..
I'm looking at getting a used gsr block, which I will rebuild... it doesn't come with a crank..
question is, should I find a used oem crank, or should I go aftermarket? I've read that OEM is great up to 500 + hp... only problem is finding a used crank...
any thoughts/suggestions appreciated..
edit: this will not be a high horsepower build.. if I go turbo, probably wouldn't go above 400hp.. not yet anyways..

I'll just reiterate what King V said. Stick with an OEM Crank. If you're looking for a little added displacement, the LS crank (along with LS rods) will go into a GSR block just the same as a GSR crank.

Re: (95civhb)
I'm leaning towards going NA, however, I may go turbo...
this is a DD, so if I go turbo, I'd probably stay 250hp or less so I can keep some tires on it... best fuel readily available around here is 91 octane, so that's what I'll be running..

Re: (95civhb)
Your piston choice is going to be influenced by your eventual goal. With 91 octane on a 9:1 turbo setup, you could safely hit 400whp. If you're looking at a stock rebuild, you can still hit your 250whp goal and probably further. On my stock block GSR, i hit 315whp on 91 octane. Once you figure out where you want to take your car, your choices will be clearer
