Default What's the difference between short blocks and long blocks????

I keep seeing everyone talking about GSR short blocks, GSR longblocks and that ****. What's the diff between them and how do you tell if you have a short block or long block?

i had that same question for my friend a couple weeks ago . . .
a short block is just the block
the long block is the block , head and intake manifold, and maybe exhaust man?

Longblock = complete motor, no transmission
Shortblock = just the bottom half of the motor, no head
