My guess is that they replaced the engine before it left the engineering center. Some of these vehicles were used for testing. If so, the engine probably would have been replaced before the vehicle was sold. I'm assuming the SDR came back Zone 00 Dealer 502.

1970 warranty engine as already mentioned, based on the sequence number it was assembled at Tonawanda.

^Also a 1970 warrantied block.Makes sense as the 1969 Camaro & Corvette ran over into 1970 production.
Scott,what '69 car is that 1970 CE block out of?..Camaro?

Last 1969 Camaro was produced on or about November 7, 1969.
