ha man i remember when i asked myself this question i think i was 16 too ...anyway a shortblock is the block with the rotating assembly in it (pistons rods crank ect.) and a long block has all that plus heads can and valvetrain.. explains why it is more expensive

probably an already assembled long block...

Personally, i would find a short block you want, and then get a top end you want...

find a short block and build it, then you know you are getting exactly what you want and you can build t to do exactly what you want it to do
