    CE stamped engines are over the counter engines. what you'll need to do is look at the left rear engine case flange(what the bellhousing bolts to) and post the casting # you'll find there. also helpful to post the cast ing date. mike

        Dale -

        All you can tell from the pad stamp is that it's a "CE" warranty replacement short block assembled in 1969. These assemblies were ordered by specific part number to match the internal configuration of the failed engine, but that part number doesn't appear anywhere on the replacement engine. No way to determine the nature of the innards without tearing it down.
