Wait until you have the bike, take some measurements, and post some pics. We'll talk you through this.
I think the bike is quite likely to have a 70 mm english threaded bottom bracket but you never know until you measure it.
The tapers on the spindle may or may not be 3 degrees since that is true only for some of the cranks that came on Sekines like mine.
This won't be hard but you may have to install a new bottom bracket.
