What's The Difference In A Long/short Block?

[sniperwolf2304]

I was checkin' out engine prices and notived that the prices for long block honda JDM motors were almost a thoousand dollars less than short block? If anybody could give me an explaination it'd be appreciated. Are they worse in any way or is it just a weight thing?

Long block is usually the block,head,and what is a ttached to the head,short block is the bottom end.
