The partial VIN starting with a "C" says it's out of a Chevy pickup.

Could the serial number start with CE on the block which would then indicate it is a warranty motor.

You guys are great, thanks very much. So it looks like a warranty/replacement motor was installed in 1971. The car is supposed to be a 68 427 390hp 4-sp car, but I just got the vin, here it is, 194678S406634. Does that make sense? What else does it tell you? Thanks again, K
