Hi everyone, how are you? i just have 2 question to ask today hopefully you can help me,
1. What kind of engine block do i have it's a 1980 302 but i was wondering if it was a long block or a short block.
2. how would i take the driverside door off the cab, i know it's an old truck so i don't want to break any of the blots.

thanks a lot for the help.

 

the difference between a long block and a short block is not the length of the block...

a long block basically consists of a motor ready to drop in a vehicle and bolt up your altenator, carbeurator, exhaust pipes and whatever other goodies your vehicle has...

a short block is just the block, with maybe the crank, cam, pistons, etc...

as for your driver side door...just don't break the bolts...spray them with WD-40 or some other lubricating spray and let them set for a day or so....should come out fairly easy
