If it is an early '69 casting number, it won't work in a '67 L88, but would probably be fine in a '69 L88.
[/ QUOTE ] Since the block is a CE stamp, an early 69 dated 512 would be a good match for a 67 L88 car. CE motors could have been installed 3 years after the date of the car[not the build date of the car but the sale date which could be several months after the build date in addition to the 3 year warranty period]..If ncrs accepts CE block,yet expects the date to preceed the car or allows more points when it does , they arent being realistic.

I am in full agreement of this statement!
Wouldnt the warranty run of cores fulfill cars made, or maybe just 25% of the actual engines made.
As well, Chevrolet offering these motors as shortblocks for sale to the public at the dealership.
I would assume GM assembled warranty and public purchase units to the build of an L88 in 69 as the run was allowed prior to release.
I was just looking at it the same way Chuck does here.
I just felt that any CE block followed the release GM gave, during and after the cars were offered.
Thus my intention was of the thought my K-4-9 block followed the run made.
