Short block: usually crank, pistons & block

long block: comes with above & usually heads, oil pump & water pump....(no manifold, alternator etc)

Though best to check with the seller & specifically ask what the block comes with.....

If you wanted to buy an engine; if you called many suppliers they would need a Vin number to ensure th right engine was obtained....

Though make sure you ask the question "What comes with it!!!"
