Question long block/short block

I am doing some 302 engine research and am a little confused.

In the FRPP catalog the crate engines are listed as long blocks and the engine block assemblies are listed as short blocks. In Jegs/Summit some listings don't specify which it is, and when I read the threads posted here it never comes up...

What in the difference of the short block vs. the long block as it relates to the small block family? I am looking for a self build/rebuild project for a street driver, no racing, should I even care?

Thanks for the help.
