The short engine is basically just the block , Pistons etc . I believe the long engine is the whole engine the block, headers ,oil pump,water pump etc. I think this is correct however i am only really learning myself
Thanks

Yep
A short engine (as its also called) is short of a few items
ie probably the bits you don't need in a rebuild, so you get the block and major components but not the ancilliaries or cylinder heads
