definition of Long/shortblock? What's the difference between a long and short block? What is and is not included in both? Thanks, BH |
Re: definition of Long/shortblock? Short block is just an assembled block, crank, rod's, piston's, cam, chain, etc. A long block is the short block plus the heads... Dan |
Re: definition of Long/shortblock? well, if I recall right, the long block used to contain the cam, head, and valvetrain. Some people talk about it with the intake included on older motors. A shortblock traditionally does not include the cam, heads, timing gears/chains/lifters, etc. I dont recall if the oil pan/pump is included in the shortblock. Ive always envisioned the shortblock as the rotating assembly inside the block. chris |
Re: definition of Long/shortblock? Well if you remember the pre-98 Fbodies had a longer nose and an LT1 iron engine; this was the long block. In '98 they shortened the front of the cars past the front wheels, and therefore had to switch over to the LS1, a slightly shorter, aluminum-block engine. This is called the "short block." :jest: :bs: :bs: :bs: :bs: |
