    More power with a lonblock?

    The term longblock and shortblock come from purchasing crate engine's. As stated above the longblock will include heads or head and the shortblock will be the bottom end only. The physical block built with the rotating assembly. A block on its own is just a block, no crank, no pistons, no rods, but should always have the main caps or you will have to line hone it.

    A B18C1 is a B18C1 is a B18C1, stamped on the block, pistons if stock should be stamped P72. Some people also include accesories with used longblocks, like intake and exaust manifolds, altenator, ps pump and things of that nature.
