Re: replacement blocks
As crude as it may sound, GM used a gang stamp and a big hammer to number the blocks and transmissions. The trucks were still being done this way well into the '80s. Our L78 Chevelle had the short block replaced in '71 and has the block stamped CE1XXXXX on the deck surface. These replacement assemblies also had a limited warranty and the XXXXXX number allowed GM to identify them.
