Short engine/short block = block, and the bits that go in it (i.e. crank, rods, pistons plus rings, bearing shells etc) all put together.

Long engine = all the above plus complete heads, again all put together.

that's the way these are if you are looking at getting a new engine ask people on this side as there are company's that you need to avoid!

ask away! everyone will help you out
