You will probably need a new BB.
Not sure they will have 8 splines since I thouhgt that was shimano only

What cranks and bottom bracket? You will most likely need a new bottom bracket.

so you will need a new BB as the hussefelt are not Octalink.

Whats your budget?
I would much rather go for a HTII crankset like the Shimano Deore for 50 quid rather than get another isis/octalink set
