This is Swindon Race Engines, the same people who built the 90s BTCC C20XEs, im sure it's better designed than most steel cranks you can find these days.

And what do you think the steel crank started out as?
A billet 
So yes it is a billet steel crank.

Just because it's steel doesn't mean it's billet

They still make all of the turbo'd engines.
He is also selling damaged 3x pistons and rods, and says his dry sump broke. I reckon the crank is scored to fuck.

Agreed, I'd also be very warey about buying any internals after and engine failure.
If the dry sump pump is f**ked it must mean metal fragments were pumped all round the engine, possibly including the oil gallerys to the crank. Would want to have it proffessionally checked over before purchase.
