As I understand it mate short engine is just the block and long engine is block and heads

AFAIK, the heads will fit, it will be a case of choosing the right gaskets.
Best to ask a tuner, David at APi, Prodriverules, Harvey Smith, Allan Jeffery, etc.

To give you an example, mine was rebuilt with standard UK 98 heads, (ie version 4), onto a 2.5 short engine I'd had forged.
