long block vs. short block

[dantheman91]

i was looking at different engines to get some ideas for my 03 gt and i was wondering what the difference is between a short block and a long block. what is makes the long block so much more expensive?

sb vs lb

Shortblock is crank, rods, pistons installed in a block
Longblock will include heads, valvetrain, timing set, & oil pump (if money is available go longblock for an easier install)

No offense, but you should not be looking to swap out engines if you cannot tell the difference between a short and long block.
