Whats the difference between a long block and a short block? I dont know my terms yet...

 

Long block includes the transmission. Short block is just the engine.

 

Engine as in valve cover to oil pan?

 

longblock is the whole motor = block and the head, usually no manifolds

shortblock is just the bottom end = no head, but rods, pistons, blah blah

Wrong. Short block is just the bottom end of the engine (the block, pistons, rods, crank, and etc) Long blocks are a short blocks but with the head. Now there are bare and complete long blocks. Bare meaning that it is only block and head with all the internals, but a complete long block is a bare long block but with intake and exhaust manifold.

EDIT: companies range in what is included in the package (like sensors and etc.), so check what is included in the package.
