Does anyone know of dimensioned drawings of a "long block" Lycoming O320-E2D, and a dimensioned drawing of an O360-A1A. In particular I'm looking for the dimension from the engine mount to the propeller flange.

long block has a meaning in car engines that has nothing to do to with length. Rather it’s how much stuff comes with the engine when you buy it. A long block has things like starter and alternator that doesn’t come with a short block. No idea if that’s what Lycoming means in this case.
I thought a long block means it has heads where as a short block is just the block. It is fully dressed with accessories bolted on.
That is car and truck talk.

Pretty tuff to remove the heads and retain the cylinders on a Lycoming.

Wondering if that terminology might mean wide deck vs. narrow deck? That's about mounting measurements I think.
If so, here is a tad bit of info: https://generalaviationnews.com/2018/11/25/narrow-deck-vs-wide-deck-engines-revisited/

No idea. Can't say I've ever heard that terminology used before. Why not email Lycoming tech support?
