Sorry about the CAPS, it was a copy and paste from google search

That is an engine shop's description. Long block typically has the oil pan, timing covers, intake manifold and such. BUT that could also be considered "turn key". That's why it is important you educate yourself before you go out of your way to save money and buy a 200 dollar motor only to find out you need to buy 1600 bucks worth of other ****. Then get super pissed that you could have bought a turn key for 1000 bucks. Make sure you get people to give you pics and a full description of what is included. DON'T trust one long block description to the next description.
