I'm stupid---Would someone plese explain to me what the "long block" is and what the "short block" is? It seems that these are in reference to the OM606 but that's all I know. While I'm at it, which do you prefer and why?

long is with a head, right? Short means just the block no head.
Rusted out beat down 300d turbo 82' -- RIP
Nice body, tons of ridiculous mechanical issues - 300d turbo 82' /motor 85'

Yes short block is the engine block itself and the "rotating assembly" that is pistons, rods,and crank. Long block is the complete engine without assesories.
