Is there a difference? proformance the same? displacement? just need a quick answer.

Thanks in advance, Matt

 

-Short block means just the bottom of the motor. (block, pistons, ect.)

-Long block is the entire motor including the head.

There is no difference in displacement, ect. Its just terminonlogy.

 

this is in the tech forum.

let me hit myself in the head with a mallet

 

Look at it this way. A B16 would be considered a short block and a B18 would be considered a long block

 

I'm going to assume for your sake that you are kidding.

You are kidding right?

lol.. b18=7mm longer/taller to be exact....

 

Oh, doy, I didn't even think of that part of it. Lol, don't confuse the poor dude.

 

I actually feel dumber after reading this thread. A short block consists of a complete block, no head, a long block is the complete head and block, usually this involves the exhaust manifold, not always though. And a distributor. Use the search from now on.

 

pootie kiss my ***

 

wow nice thread guys

 

that suxs man, bad question. I do hope you are not going to do any work yourself. But shortblock = just block / longblock = head and block

 

Short block is just block.
Long block is block and head.

 

You're making us 04' members look bad.
