----Im not sure exactly what CE stands for but was told a long time ago by the head of a large Chevy dealer parts department in south Florida that the CE program was an attempt to counter theft out the back door of many dealerships of complete long-block assemblys. I believe it was begun sometime in 1968 as rampant theft out of a few dealerships across the country had to be addressed. Weather the program was successful or not can be debated. I do know that just about every Nova, Chevelle, and Camaro in Ft. lauderdale back in the era seemed to have a 427 it!......Bill S
