Engine Block question

I was wondering,

What's the difference between a "long block" & a "short block"?

Does the term cover all engine blocks?

Thx, Ray

short blocks have the following included.

Lower block, crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons, rings, main bearings, rod bearings, cam bearings, warning only purchase this unit if you have a qualified engine specialist who can properly clean, rework, and assemble to a complete running engine, it will require numerous new parts, and lots of time not recommended for the weekend warrior !!!

Long block engines have the following included.

Block, crankshaft, pistons, rings, main bearings, rod bearings, cam bearings, camshaft, timing chain, sprockets, lifters, push rods, rocker arms, cylinder heads, oil pump, oil screen, and gasket set. This will also require a skilled engine specialist, and hours of time cleaning the following parts that you take off your old engine to reuse on your new engine, such as oil pan, timing cover, valve covers, intake manifold, carburetor, water pump distributor, all ignition components, it will require many hours of cleaning and assembly, plus if you screw it up it is your problem !!!
