78.4 Okrasa crank question

I've tried a few keyword searches without much luck. I've been blessed with a 78.4 Okrasa crank, I've not checked the measurements yet, but it appears to be in very good shape. Let's imagine after I put a mic on it this crank is in very good condition.... What would it sell for? I see 36hp Okrasa stuff is $$$$$ I know it can only sell for what someone will pay, but what's a good ballpark? - Thanks in advance

It is probably a 1600 based crank not 36hp. A stroker crank usually starts out at around $200-250. Some say that these Okrasa cranks are good quality and can go for $7-800. I guess it is whatever someone will pay for it.

From what I found it seems the early 36 stuff was like $800+, but anything else was around $200. I've got a 1776 now, and if I put in this crank that would take me up to a 2017 (I think that's right, pulling that from my head). Not really sure if it's worth the trouble.

Yes, 2017. It will make a very big difference. We have converted a couple of 1776cc to 1956cc with a 76mm crank. It makes a really big difference in power.
