forged 346? how tough is the stock crank? and how much does it cost to get a block resleeved, including the sleeves? i was just wondering if it would be cheaper to go with a forged 346 over a 383.

The cost difference between a forged 346 and a 383 using the Eagle crank is about $600. 
That's it. No, no need for sleeves, or anything else. 383 uses stock block with a hone (just like a forged 346).
I took apart my forged 346 and turned it in to a forged 383 by just swapping parts (and a little clean up machine work).
