Default HEY! i gotta dumb question...

what's the difference between a Long block and a shortblock. I just realized I never really knew the difference as it does not come up very often.

basically a long block is a block with heads. A shortblock is just a block with internals.

We wont be mean unless your asking something umb like where the wheels are.
