it sounds like u do not know what long block and short block mean... longblock is a complete engine block,crank,rods,pistons,cam,heads (some places it also has a timing cover,oil pan,intake waterpump,)pretty much put it in turn the key...

a short block is just block crank,rods,pistons

best thing would be get a short block from woody and build it from there..

a long block is not a turn key motor!it includes,block,crank, rods,pistons,heads,most do not have a timing chain cover,no intake,no oil pan,and a cam in most with a timing chain,pushrods and roller rockers.And no water pump


It is just a short block with heads and valve train nothing else
