LOL short block is just the block and rotating Assembly. Long block is basically an engine ready to be bolted in. I recommend maybe you go to a shop to get your engine built if you don't know the difference. Next thing we know you'll be asking if you can install RX-7 pistons for lower boost...

i mean i have rebuilt like 3 engines a chrysler 383 440 and a slant 6 i only know those motors and i kno a block is a block with those types of engines. so basically what your saying is that an unassmbled ld9 is a short block and when the motor is assembled its a long block?
if you have built v8s that you should know that a short block has no heads and a long block does. Why not just buy a local 2.4 if that's what you want and tear it down. I can find them in my area for under 200$

Sarcasm aside, this is a good question. There are specific differences between the 96-98 and the 99-02 LD9. Most notably, the knock sensor and the presence of an EGR for the 96-98 will cause you some headaches with the PCM.
I have no signiture
Don't know which was funnier, the Gallo 24/12 or the 2JZ
