Default Re: 'CE' Block

With the warranties, replacement engines needed to have some method of being tracked for future warranty work. Seems to me that this is why the engines got a CE number. Could have had something to do with law enforcement as well. The original owner told us how our SS Chevelle got a CE replacement after it dropped a valve. Seems like the most common end for L78 engines.
