My Guess is that its a #289 cast block . Im also thinking the last 2 digits are there just not real visible. May be too much of a coincidence to be a rebuilders stamp with a CE but very well could be.

So if it's a CE (Chevrolet Engine) w/ the last 2 digits lightly stamped, castings should reflect the engine as a '73 CE build?.

That would be my guess[and would make it a 289 casting most probably] unless its a an CE8 instead of a "3"..in that case it could be a 321 or 439,but i doubt it. This is all assuming its in fact a 4.250 bore block.
