Replace the Ofmegas with some new (to me) VO 175 cranks. (These I know are JIS)

My question is this...do I move the bottom bracket from the Torpado to the Bianchi along with the cranks? Then replace the BB on the Torpado with a new on? Say like a UN55 (is it JIS?)

Or do I even bother moving/changing BB and just move the cranks? Or something else?

Ofmega cranks often had a unique taper of their own, check out Sheldon Browns page. I agree with pars is the Ofmega BB fits move it with the cranks to the Bianchi.

What is wrong with the cranks on the Bianchi?
