clarification here... just what is a rotary shortblock vs a longblock? If you literally mean just the housings and the rotors/seals/stat gear/eshaft bla bla bla then youre not taking into account the intake and exhaust manifolds among other things.

wow a person can bench the whole motor.
can someone briefly explain to me what the differences are between the long and short blocks? never heard before. and don't just tell me one is long and one is short.

Long block includes turbos, manifolds, airpump and other attatched accessories.

That's wierd. For piston engines, a short block is minus the heads/pistons (ie, just the rods sticking out). The long block is up to the heads/valve covers. With everything attached it's called 'turn key'.
Technically, there should be no such thing as a rotary 'short' block. (It would be just the e-shaft?). The only thing you could get is rotary 'long' block (relative to piston terms).
And with everything on it (UIM, access etc) it would be 'turn key.'

Mazda numbers...
Renesis 303 lbs
REW 344 lbs
That would be longblock (most if not all accessories). I believe it includes turbos on REW but not IC or some of the piping. That would probably put it around 360 lbs. A LS1/LS7 longblock I think is in the 400-425 range, less with lighter internals. The REW can reduce weight by about 25 lbs with a light flywheel, pulleys, and emmissions removal.
