Odds are there is a long block in your car 
Short block=Block, crank, rods, pistons, usually Oil pump, pan.
Long block adds at least the head, and can be anything up to a complete engine. Usually everything from the intake manifold gasket to the exhaust manifold gasket.

Based on your explanation, I would tend to agree that I have a long block in my 951
Also based on your description he majority of my short block got replaced during my rebuild last winter.
