Default Doing a Rebuild, Need Help

I have a 2003 with a 5.7, are there any other engines with the short block?

you need to explain yourself...

all engines have/are short blocks...

engine block/crankshaft/rods and pistons and sometimes a camshaft... that is called a short block (assembled)

Do you mean interchangeability? If so, you should be able to use any 03-08 hemi block. Only thing you need to be wary of is 06-08 1500 & 05-08 LX engines have MDS.

Yes I meant interchangeably, sorry I didn't realize my wording seemed a little elementary. Just trying to explore my options for availability of parts. This being my first one wasn't really sure what year and models were interchangeable.
