  2. A long block has a cylinder head and valve's a short block doesn't

  7. Not really applicable to the VW aircoolers, as most come with heads attached. For your old MG, you might buy a reconned short block (basically crankcase) and fit your own head.

    Not your head, obviously. That would be silly.
