It sounds like a steel crank - no problems at all.

Since the FE was designed for nodular cast cranks (hence the large journal sizes), and you're running a crossdrilled steel crank, you can get away with turning those journals waaay down and still have excess strength and stiffness.

40-40 is no sweat at all on a cast crank in an FE. 40-40 is NOTHING on a forged crank. Assuming it mags and mics OK, it's gonna be ready for the hardest racing you can throw at it.
