Both. You can buy new cast or new forged. There are also original 400 cranks still around.

Both, although the greater majority of kits seem to be reground originals from what I have seen. Read any advert literature closely, if the kit comes with a new crank it will most certainly say so. Apart form the Scat kits and a few higher cost ones most say something like 'reground on main and rod journals' which is a dead giveaway for a used crank.
