Long block includes the cylinder head, and generally everything except electronics. A short block is a block and rotating assembly, no cylinder head.

Titleist71 can only hope to improve
A long block is a complete motor, minus accessories. Short is just the bottom end, minus head/s, manifolds, and accessories. Long block more expensive, short block cheaper.
