when you say "block" i hope you mean all the rotating parts inside, too.
as at least three people (2 on this list) have found out, there is no such
thing as a short block for this animal, at least from Audi of America.

not to rain on your parade, but think twice about passing on that one in
NJ.  there were only about a thousand +/- 3B engined cars imported to the
US.  FYI, one "stock" rebuild i'm aware of is running over $5000.  i use
quotes because this rebuild requires a bit of ingenuity--such as the fact
that Audi doesn't make bearings (don't recall if this was rod or main) for
the motor--try adapting GTI bearings.

Good luck
