Long block or big block

Are these terms inner-changeable ? I'm looking for a new engine for my 305 rs and i thought it took a big block, but when buying the engine from this company, they called it a long block. Just wondering if long block means somthing different from big block?

THANK YOU!! very much appreciated! I had a feeling there was a difference.
