In this example, 6A decodes to Atlanta final assembly, and the last six digits of the VIN. Depending on the year and plant, the partial VIN could be stamped into a different area of the block; the flange edge of the rear of the block near the bellhousing mating surface, the rough cast area next to the oil filter and sometimes the stamping is found above the timing cover mating surface on the front of the block. Beginning January 1, the federal government requested voluntary compliance of identifying major parts of a motor vehicle by inscribing or affixing an identifying number or symbol on major parts.

As far as research has shown, Chevrolet did comply. Again, the location on the block may vary between the plants and years but one change was made in Beginning in late model year, 3-letter engine suffix codes were used on the engine pad. This example happens to be a September built engine with a TH transmission as noted by the CTW suffix code. The plant, date, and engine ID codes were stamped at the respective engine assembly plants while the partial VINs when applicable were stamped at the final assembly plant.

Therefore the two stampings will have different fonts, character sizes, and in some cases will be stamped at different locations on the engine block. There is another type of stamping found on some blocks. This is the " CE " code. You might see something like this " CE " on the front pad of the block deck on the passenger side.

The " CE " stands for " C hevrolet E ngine" but is often erroneously referred to as "Counter Engine", "Counter Exchange" and "Crate Engine" was used on blocks that were warranty replacement engines. If a customer had problems with his original engine, while it was under warranty, it was replaced with an engine that was stamped "CE" with a 6-digit number following it which serialized that particular engine. It's important to note that the "CE" designation for replacement Chevrolet engines did not start until so any year designation in the engine number would be for and later.

The CE block stamp year is the year the block was stamped and not for what year of car the block was destined for since a generic block for fitted engine could be used as a warranty replacement for any number of years' engines, applications, and for cars produced from any assembly plant.

Here you can clearly see the CE stamping on the engine pad. This one produced in at Tonawanda with engine serial number Note the "A" in the CE0A stamping on the engine pad.
