An honest but stupid question

energiesource · May 9th, 2007, 04:06 AM

So I was wondering what makes a motor a longblock and a shortblock? is it just updated cylinder blocks or what?

also a side question, would a pushrod motor fit in our stangs or would the computer be too fucked up to use?

A long block includes heads, a short block does not.

yes a pushrod moter will fit, in 94-95 they came with a 5.0. ive also seen a few with 351's, but no the computer wont work.

Yep longblock comes complete and a shortblock doesnt. Also you can fit in a pushrod motor but you are going to have to get it carberated (not smog legal) or get the comp to come with the new motor.
