A short block, by definition, is an engine that has been partially assembled. It starts with the engine block, which is where the combustion chambers are located. The short block will contain several individual components including a crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons, and freeze plugs. This is referred to as a full rotating assembly. Regardless of whether you have a four-cylinder, six-cylinder, or above, the short block will always contain the components that rotate inside the engine block. If the engine you are purchasing does not contain these critical components, it’s referred to as a bare block. What is a Long Block Engine? While the short block focuses on the engine block and bottom end rotating components, the long block goes further by adding components that mechanically complete the engine’s primary assembly. Some of the important items installed on a long block include cylinder heads, a camshaft, the valve train (which consists of all cylinder head-related hardware, the valve covers, a water pump, oil pump, and oil pan, and other components. A long block does not require the installation of fuel system components, such as an intake manifold, fuel pump, or fuel injection/carburetor. Engines that are completely assembled are typically referred to as a complete engine or crate engine in some cases. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
