a shortblock= a block, pistons, crank, rods, sometimes cam and timing chain.

longblock= shortblock plus heads.

Above I just listed a few of the sites that you can go to get an idea of what type of blocks are offered and answer your question on will it fit. If you were thinking that a long block was larger in some way than what you already have...it is not. It describes the level of completion that you want your motor in when you get it home. If you have invested some great heads and want to reuse them then get a short block and slap your heads on it. If you need heads for your engine combination then get a long block. Based on the question that you asked I would get someone with some serious engine know how to either do it or you assist them with it.

Do you already have 5.0 injected? If not you will need a lot more than just a long block. You will need a complete motor with all of the electronics.

To be honest, if you're asking if a fuel injected 5.0 will fit in your 94 GT.. installing an engine is going to be a trip to say the least. And if your ability to search the internet for things (like the difference between a long/short block) are that poor, interpreting the information about installing your engine, let alone FINDING it, is going to be a trip..

I was guessing you were asking if the 5.0 will fit in your 94 GT? I'll take that as either you don't have one, you have one minus the drivetrain, or you're contemplating buying an effed up one, because most of the 94 GT's I've seen already have fuel injected 5.0's in them.. =/ couldn't imagine why.

Harder than typing a sentence. Especially without the tools or the general knowhow.
OK WILL FIT IN 5.0 IN MY 94 GT <-- ? Come on..
