Thanks. I believe CE means Chevrolet Engine. The CE engines were used for warranty replacements, service replacements, over the counter short blocks, long blocks, and fitted blocks I believe. My guess is this was a hot rodders brain child that was bought at a dealer parts counter.

Nylon timing gear -- there was a theory the nylon gear would not transmit crankshaft torsional vibrations to the cam ... rumor is Da' Grump ran nylon gears.

Maybe someone else here nows different of more on this ... TAZ

CE - Chevrolet Engine, yes - the 9 after the CE means 1969

Does the over-the-counter M20 have a CT stamping (Chevrolet Transmission) on it? Is it CT9 ?

Re: Estate Sale 427 Tear Down
 

Yes, the trans is a CT9 M20.

Interesting that it is a 439 casting with a 69 usage (warranty usage) and not a 512.
I have just one question... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/Can-I-Have-It.gif[/img]

Re: Estate Sale 427 Tear Down
 

You can have it if I can have some cash in exchange. I bought this along with a bunch of other parts to get a few pieces I could use. I paid up for this engine simply to satisfy my curiousity about what was inside. Thank goodness it wasn't grenaded.


Here is the trans for those who wanted to see it:

Thanks Nova SS. Great pictures on that engine and the factory cast part numbers. Appreciate going the extra mile and helping me out.

earntaz, i have heard different on the nylon gear. Jerry MacNeish the Camaro expert told me to stay away from these nylon gear spockets. When they failed its lights out for the motor. I use the steel gears for peace of mind. I had a factory set and sold them on ebay. I personally wouldnt use one.

Re: Estate Sale 427 Tear Down
 

Same here. You're talking about half century old plastic. It is way beyond its useable life span even for an NOS sprocket.
