Ah, nevermind, I should have googled it first, sry to waste everyones time........

Short Block includes:
Block, Rods, Pistons, Crank and Cam Shafts, Timing Chain (I think)...in other words, the block and mostly internal hardware only.

Long block includes the above plus:
Heads, Intake Manifold, Water Pump, Oil Pan, Balancer, and MAYBE a few other mechanical parts external to the block depending on the distributor you use and the crate engine kit you order.

Hope this helps!!

Always spend some time with the search feature first, there's quite a bit of info on damn near every topic just sitting there waiting to be read.
