Service Engines (CE coded)

Thanks Darrell!
Just one thing, could you merge columns F and G to read 'oil pan flange stamp' or whatever makes sense to members please? Some (maybe all?) CE blocks have an assembly date stamped down there on the gasket surface.

Done.

I have a 1969 302 that I acquired in 1975. CE# was decked off years ago, this thread got me interested so I checked it out today. The pad under the starter is stamped 01 9V, block was cast A179. I noticed up front on the right side lower pad in front of the fuel pump it is stamped Z and 5 in what appears to be the same font as under the block., not together they in different spots. Probably not anything, but I thought it was strange.

01 9V is likely January of 1969, Flint - based on the casting date of January 17, 1969. 

What is the casting number?

I have a 3892657 casting  engine code CE8 235  12  date stamp H 187.  Above the oil filter it is stamped 3 groups of numbers. Top tp bottom  944  657  76N.
I believe it is a 350 replacement for 67 SS but have no way to verify.

Thanks!

It's been stated on this forum that '68 Z/28 engines were all 2 bolt mains.  In '71 I bought a '68 Z/28 that had a replacement "CE" motor.  In '73 I rebuilt that "CE" motor.  It was indeed a 302 Z/28 motor.  It had the correct crank , pistons,  rods and damper.  The damper did not have an offset keyway.It was also a 4 bolt main block.  The block was a 3970010 casting.  If the engine was replaced during the '69 model year would this explain the 4 bolt mains?
Does this make sense?

[69Z28-RS]

Makes sense to me Fred...  it would have to be a 69 or later block for an 010 casting.
