short block = just the block and pistons, rods, crank shaft ect. Long block is the block and all with heads assembled and what not almost ready to plug and play. More parts assembled = more money.

short block is just the lower rotating assembly(Crank , block, pistons, etc.)
Long block is the whole thing just missing an intake..i think you need to add your own oil pan too.

No cam with the shortblock you wouldn't want to buy a cam and head seperatly any how since you want to match them up. Go to http://www.ls1speed.com/enginepackages.cfm and check out the differences I think that with the long block all you need is electical wireing, pcm, intake, oil pan and few others to get running.
