I found a nice 69 z28 and in the ad it stated having a "ce" replacement block. I wasn't sure what that meant.

If a CE block was used by a Chevy dealer to replace an engine under warranty it should have the car serial number stamped on the block. Such would not be the case with the ones mentioned above as sold through the parts department.

would probably have a vin if he blew up the first one and got it replaced under warranty, but if he realized he didn't want a roadracer and wanted a drag car he could have a race shop drop a 427 321# or 052 # ce in to convert it so to speak, give him a call ask what the motor is....

Don,

-----I bought a 427/435 69 Vette new and a week later due to a frozen wrist-pin the car was back at a Chevy dealer getting a new warranty motor. Nobody stamped anything in that block except Tonawanda! I have never seen a CE block here in the US with the serial number stamped back in it by the dealer. Not implying it didnt happen,but I have never seen one.Maybe they did that up in Canada?...........Bill S

Bill, I believe you are right. I have NEVER seen a restamped CE block under warranty. Sam
