Old Bike, New Crankset?

I have a 1994 Specialized Allez. Currently there's an old Vuelta crankset on it

Does anyone know if I can put a modern Shimano (e.g. 105, Ultegra, or Dura Ace crankset on the bike?

If it has a BSA threaded shell it will. I put Shimano 105 5800 cranks on a 1991 Paramount and 1978 Raleigh Competion that had a BSA threaded shell. The other thing you'll need to know is what is the shell width from drive side to non-drive side.

I would be shocked if a 94 Specialized did not have a standard BSA bottom bracket shell.
