onlyinajeep726 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Can someone explain to me what the difference is between a longblock and a shortblock, or are the terms used interchangeably to describe the same thing? I've seen both terms used and I don't understand. I thought a 4.0 was a 4.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogmorgo Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Long block vs short block has nothing to do with what engine it is. Both are terms describing how assembled they are. Basically, a short block is missing the head(s) and a long block isn't. A long block still isn't typically a complete engine, though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_block Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
