[/ QUOTE ] So my take on that is if you have a CE motor dated for the car you gain 38 points over a decked block thats dated for the car ,because the CE has broach marks..A never stamped block would be even better but harder to find for sure

The block casting, (350 pts) would be judged first and then the date, (175 pts) and finally the pad with its three elements. Keep in mind that the stops are put in place at the first non comforming data. In the case of a legitimate CE that would be extremely prohibitive unless you used a CE from another vehicle
