Hello all, new to the board. I have a CE code shortblock, and just went out and looked at it (3:16 a.m) and here is what I have. The block casting is 3959512, it has a 1182 forged crank, pink rods, and standard bore. Date code of K149, and the stamping is CE9A93177. As far as I can see that does not fall within any numbers that are listed on that 69 Bulletin. Anyone have any input. I have had the engine for about 3 years, and it had a Corvette pan on it when I got it. Thanks Kevin

For what it's worth, from GM you could get fitted blocks (blocks and pistons), short blocks, or full engines. I don't know how these setups might be used in warranty work. GM didn't like to give out any more parts than necessary.
