I just picked-up a nice Predator engine for next to nothing, but like the original poster, the crank needs replaced (mine has the PTO stub snapped off clean).
So if we could back up to his original question, where is the best place to buy a non-hemi Predator 212 crank? Mine has no option to repair. NR Racing is indeed out of stock, and probably more that I’d want to pay regardless.
