Default 69 "CE" 396 questions

I'm trying to figure out the engine in my Camaro. It's not the original engine as my car is an original small block car. Here is the info:casting number 3969854, casting date J 14 9, front pad stamping CE075672, NO serial number, HI PERF PASS cast into block above oil filter. I know that it is a counter exchange shortblock but the thing that I'm not sure about is the CE stamping. The letters and numbers aren't lined up and are different sizes. I can't get a picture of the front pad stamping because of the alternator bracket. Any thoughts???

Does this Help?

Your block shows CE075672 it decodes to:
C=Chevrolet
E=Engine
0=last digit of the model year,in your case 1970.
75672=Sequence number of that engine.Tonawanda started production from number 50001 to 79999.Yours is the 75,672nd unit produced from that plant.
Try this too
