No clutch parts.

Flywheel maybe......

Motor mounts and harness, almost never. A "pull out" maybe, longblock no.

I don't think there is a shortblock rotary engine. On a piston motor, longblock includes the cyl heads, while the shortblock is only the block and rotating assembly.

shortblock on a rotary is usually just the keg

Correct, most refer to the shortblock as only the keg(Irons, Housings, Front Cover, front hub). Longblock is usually everything needed to drop in and run.

as stated above, that's the shortblock.. there is no long block.. but there is a "turn key" motor which i'm unsure if still availble for "REW's" but i can check :)

I would have considered the above pictured engine a long block. I guess piston to rotary just doesn't translate well.

i would consider a long block i rotary terms that has like the uim and lim and then a short block would just be the keg
