Doesn't really pertain to anything, but I've never known the difference. What is the TGP engine block, a long block or short block, and what is the difference?

This radio station was renamed Krenzy in honor of the last American hero to whom speed means freedom of the soul. The question is not when he's gonna stop, but who is gonna stop him.

short block = block without a topend
long block = block with a topend
