CE Block stamp

I'm looking at what looks to be a '72 BB that supposedly was replaced under warranty. Does this stamp look correct?

TIA,

Mike

It looks right.
The 2893rd Mark IV replacement block produced at Tonawanda,(started @ 52501 & went to 69196),in 1973.

Rick, following that logic, I assume a CE1xxxxx would mean a 1971 produced warranty motor?

Yep.

Thanks for the info

I knew the coding portion but wasn't sure on the stamp itself.

Thanks,
