![]() It's conceivable that some confusion of procedure may have taken place at the service end. I would also be interested if anyone has information about the year code being for the model year or year of replacement? I know some GM documentation is recorded stating "model year" however I have seen CE blocks with vin# and year of replacement in the sequence. I had been looking for information on the letter suffix code, I have seen "A" used before, and it certainly makes sense that it would be a repeat of the series for the plant sequential numbering system as the warranty sequence encompassed blocks for all GM models produced there. Only the number 4 was visible through the paint. I found mine on the verticle rough casting near the filter only after being hot tanked. 10036033 small block v8 350, 4-bolt, goodwrench crate engine, 2-piece rear seal. It was not always done of course and at times relocated to other areas of the block and can be very light and undetectable under paint. The authorized GM dealers were supposed to document the block with the corresponding vin # by using the same conventional gang stamp as the factory would use. Just for conversation sake I would like to add that warranty replacement blocks were still under warranty by GM for the remainder of the initial purchase gaurantee period. ![]()
