68 Baldwin Motion Camaro going to Barrett

[SuperNovaSS]

The ID code 427 were the common replacement in 1968 and are also what were installed in boats of that time frame. I can’t remember with certainty but I believe CE blocks began production in 1969. Also, if the block were out of a production Chevy full-size, it would have a partial VIN stamped on the pad.

It sounds like the CE engine program coincides with the 5/50 warranty program.

FWIW...there are apparently 1967 cast blocks with the CE engine prefix, presumably for 1968 warranty.
