A completely assembled engine minus the head (essentially). This obviously precludes the camshaft and cam drive on an overhead cam engine too.
So, engine block, pistons + rings, con rods, crank shaft, oil pan, etc.
Contrast this to a long block, which is a short block plus the head, which is essentially a completey assembled engine (minus the intake, fuel supply, etc.).

I just think of it as an engine with no head/heads. A long block includes the head.

Vince, I've got a complete engine in my garage that came out of my 1980, but it would be deadly expensive to ship that far. Let me know if you can't find anything else.

ah...we call it a 'lower block' ...the underside of the engine...
but short block makes sense 
but short is a longtitude dimension in my head... so shorter made me think like euh.....3 cylinders or something like that

Thanks for your help all. I am permanently in Florida. In four months I wore long pants 4 times and three of them was to go to a party.
Shorts and a tee are rules of the day. Everyday. Ask 924Guy.

So if you call someone 'Shorty" does that mean he has a small penis?
