Question
I have a 1948 jeep cj2 and it has a chevy engine. The numbers are ( F3I5FC ) and ( 3731548 ). I was wondering what the year, ci, hp, and value might be. I'm going to remove the engine and sell it and install a stock engine. I want to be able to tell the new owner all about the engine. Thanks in advance for your time. Ken
Hay come on now Ken... I do coin operated games??? But instead of rejecting your question I am going to
help you some, as I am a lover of those small block Chevy's also. This site will help you and I did
most if not all of it for you!. Now, where was it, that I put the coin in?

Expertise
I am an expert on old coin operated machines, slot machines, trade stimulator's, jukeboxes, old arcade machines, etc. I have been identifying these for people who respond to my web site listed below, for a few years now. In almost all cases I am able to tell them about their old coin operated machines, the year, the value, and other general information about their machines. I do not know much about soda vending machines, coin banks, or scales, but I will try to help you with these if I can.

Experience
I bought my first slot machine, a .50 Cent Mills Black Cherry in 1969 and have been hooked from that time, I still have that Slot machine! Before that I found a open barrel full of old scraped jukebox wall boxes behind a restaurant, I wanted them all but never took a one of them. Anything that took a coin drove me nuts!
