OK folks, Heres another twist on this. If I were to have bought one of thses cars new in 68-69 I would think that since I paid for the car itself along with the extra $$ to have the car converted, I would think that the engine that was removed should have also went to the person who bought the car new. Kind of like when I get repainr work done on my wifes car. I want the old parts back. Keeps the H#n#a dealer here honest. I also get to see just what was replaced

In those days, the salvage value of the engine taken out was already factored into the price of the conversion.

The response from Joel when asked if Motion added any MP numbers or designations to the CE blocks was "not normally". That confirms what I have observed on the blocks in my Motion cars.
Also, my recollection of "back in the day" was that we didn't care what number was on the block, and, if a motor needed replacing under warranty, so much the better. Nobody gave much thought about the original block adding any value, especially 30+ years down the road.
