Dumb question guys ok, never delved into the internals of the engine yet. still learining all that stuff, like cam and heads and such. anyway, just wondering, what is the difference between a short block and a long block? I have heard people talk about these things before at meets and never understood. i was just on texas-speed lookin at blocks and i saw the options. thanx fellas
Short block is just the block, crank, rods, pistons, and bearings. A long block is a short block with heads,cam and some of the covers,lifters, timing chain, oil pump,ect. Usualy the long block never includes the intake.

SHORT BLOCK- engine block containing crank, rods, pistons, cam, and timing set
LONG BLOCK- engine block containing crank, rods, pistons, cam, timing set, oil pan, lifters, pushrods, rockers, and heads
Hope that helps you out a little
