LMAO
a short block is when somone refers to an engine as the block/crank/rods and pistions.
a long block is block.crank/rods/pistions/heads/and cam
like if u buy a shortblock from someone u get the bottom half of the engine
if u buy a longblock u get the bottom half with heads on it/and sometimes the intake manifold

Not meaning to start something, but why would you make a post just to make fun of someone who has a legit question. I thought this board is to help the people who mabye dont know as much about cars as others.
Sorry I just thought thats kinda ignorant.
