You're absolutaly wrong , short block is different from the long block . The difference is in the rods , in my 8V engine i have the 2.0L short block which is shorter be a 18mm due the shorter rods , and ofcourse it revs rougher than the tall block .>What is a VW short and Long block?

Short block is just the block. Long block includes the head.
