If the threaded cups are replaceable,get english ones from FSA. Otherwise have your BB shell rethreaded to Italian.

I don't follow.
What type of cranks are they, and why can't you put them on an English bottom bracket?

its not that i cant put my cranks on its i cant get my bottom bracket in. i have english threads and my bb is itallian treaded and im trying to make it work.

if it was my bike, I definitely wouldn't touch the frame -- I'd get an English threaded BB. You've then go to make sure you get the correct length and taper(?) for your cranks.
