If u advertise a block for sale then what does that mean to most?

To me it means a block. With main caps and bolts. That's about it.

I looked on summit, holy shit that's what they call it too......

.........when was the last time YOU built something with YOUR own hands?

I offer quality sidework at reasonable prices. PM ME

Let me guess, someone came to buy the b50, and thought for that price it included all the internals? For clarification CAfords.

Block- Just block

Short block- Block, Pistons, rings, crank and rods Assembled into a block. Usually will include the oil pump and shaft as well.

Long block- Is Shortblock plus Heads and valvetrain installed. Special circumstances may include a cam.

--------------------
92GT,stock short block,9:1 TFS 170's,perf rpm,custom cam,1 5/8 shorties,C4 trans.
std. 356hp, 350tq
11.85@111.9mph on motor.

I guess I need to be more specific or post up a pic......
