Longblock/shortblock

I´m confused, whats the difference?
Can anybody enlighten me?

Fredrik:thanks:

 

Long block includes block, crank, rods, pistons, heads and cam.
Short block includes block, crank, rods, pistons.

 

Speedy you still concerned for me. AAAWWW .... schuks...

 

Alright, I thought it was to different types of engineblocks, now I know!

Fredrik:grin:

 

Nah, same block, more parts included.

 

I just realized I´d heard that before, but kind of confusing at first.
Thanks for putting me straight!

really old chevy's use to have tall deck and short deck versions but thats a whole different motor

 

Like a Chevy marine block has a higher deck?
I first thought it was something like that.

so did big block Mopars

 

Yeah, I got the new Power Magazine today and it sported a nice article on Mopar muscle cars from the late 60´s and early 70´s, beautifull cars, but I wonder if I could own and run one...
One is a bit spoilt by modern cars!

I use to love working on them when I was a kid, now I'd rather drive them then work on them

 

To me, my favorite cars are the old ones with modern technology...suspension, brakes, electronic ignition, current gauges ect ect...If you can dream it, it can be built.

 

At a certain cost of course, and I don´t have right now...:blush:

Fredrik:grin:

 

Nor do i, but one day, i would really like to build one myself...Something to pass down to my kids, something of value they can say with pride, my Dad built that.

Your not the only one..

 

By then there won´t be any gas around, and me, I would have driven its wheels off...:whistle:
But on the other hand, they might have put me in jail long enough to see the kids have their license, its 18 in Sweden!
