Engine Block Question.

[Wilsonman02]

Ok this may be a newbie question, but i was just curious, what are the differences between a 6bolt long and short block. Which is better, is one street and the other track. What are pro's and con's. I'm really in the dark on this one.

Greg this is a fantastic example of where a bit or research would have saved you some embarrassment. My reccomendation would be to delete the thread after you read it.

Usually the short block refers to the block, pistons, rods, crank etc aka bottom end. The longblock usually refers to the bottom end plus head and cams.
