CE engines are warranty replacement or over the counter crate engines. It could have been installed as a direct replacement while your car was under warranty or could have spent most of it's life in a taxi or dump truck.

The code cannot be decomposed to determine the inner components of the engine. Sorry.

My '69 also had a CE engine in it when I bought it. It turned out to ba a LT-1 which wasn't avaliable in '69. Check to see if it has solid or hydraulic lifters. An LT-1 has solids.
