A short block consists of the block, crank pistons, rods, oil pump and sometimes a cam, and timing chain.

A Long block has the block, crank, pistons, rods, oil pump, cam, timing chain, heads, lifters usually rockers.

Usually the long block does not come with an intake manifold, valve covers, oil pan or timing chain cover.
thanks
