Uh... as i understand it the "long" and "short" block terms usually mean how complete en engine is...
short... no heads or valvetrain
long... complete engine
so a 346 can be either... at least that is the way the terms are used that ive ever heard... now small or big block.. different story
i supose i could be wrong or there might be multiple meanings
short... no heads or valvetrain
long... complete engine

Any motor can come in a short or a long block.
Heads = Long
Block and rotating assembly = Short
Small and big are 2 different animals that have completely different parts.

I remember this one. I did the engine assm. and install.
That one was a 347ci shortblock with stock heads on the initial buildup, he added the PP heads later. It doesn't have Comp R's in it anymore, but does have Comp OEM lifters in it which are much better for that setup. If I remember right, it made real close to 400rwhp through the A4.

Shortblock = block, crank, rods, pistons - no heads or cam
Longblock = engine with heads and cam, timing set, etc.
Crate engine = Complete
