A bare block is not equivalent to an assembled short block. Compare the included components rather than relying on the name “engine block”.
New short block assemblies with block, crankshaft, connecting rods and pistons. Compare engine codes and supplied components, then request a quote.

The new assemblies in this selection are described as including the block, crankshaft, connecting rods and pistons. They cover the lower engine assembly; check each offer for the cylinder head, timing components and accessories.
A bare block is not equivalent to an assembled short block. Compare the included components rather than relying on the name “engine block”.
Use the engine code, vehicle version and part references. Components and specifications can differ even within the same engine family.
The workshop must assess which original components can be reused and which need replacing. Have the supplied assembly and required work itemised separately.
Do not assume it is. Check whether the head, timing components, sump and accessories are included, then agree with the workshop which parts to transfer or replace.
Provide the engine code, make, model, year and power output, together with block references and the required components.
