Q
is a long block a complete engine

A long block is not a complete engine but a significant sub-assembly that includes the engine block, crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons, and cylinder head. It acts as a substantial starting point for building or rebuilding an engine but lacks external components such as the intake and exhaust manifolds, fuel system, and ignition system. Essentially, it's the middle ground between a short block, which only includes the block and the rotating assembly (crankshaft, pistons), and a complete engine that's ready to run once external systems are attached. The long block is an excellent choice for those looking to rebuild an engine while retaining external components from an existing engine or those who prefer to customize the accessory systems.

Despite not being a complete engine. long blocks do contain the engine block. cylinder heads. camshafts. and valves. A complete engine usually includes other parts. such as the alternator. starter. power steering pump. fuel system. and electronics. but may not have these parts. In most cases. these additional parts are transferred from the old engine to the new long block.
