long block is a completely assembled engine. minus the manifolds usually. mostly when buying a performance long block is that term really used.

Yes because a long block is just the engine (both the block and head).

A short block is the block minus the head.

Because transmissions, wiring harnesses, manifolds, etc are not all free!
