Got it....

That's a nicely done T-Bucket! Keeping that original flavor is a nice tribute to your Dad!

Beautiful!! You will get a lot of smileage from that!

I took it out a few times last year. My 15 yo daughter loves riding in it because everyone looks and beeps. I also have a 2.5 yo son that I can't keep out of it. I drive him up and down my neighborhood and he raises cain when we pull back in the drive.

My Pop and the first Harley i built with my him.

You brought a smile to my face!

T Bucket's seem to get a lot of attention, my car club was doing a photo shoot for it's calendar, this lovely young lady comes walking by, sits on my front tire and starts posing. How cool is that!

That's hard to beat. Now if she was walking down the road with her thumb out..........

Here's a little tip for your T I had to learn the hard way (literally). Mine was riding way stiff, felt every bump hard. Tires had too much air in them, my rear tires do not like any pressure above 8#. Makes a huge difference...

The right stance and all the right stuff. Very nice.

Oh . . . and the T-bucket as well.

I looked at the number on the block. 3782870, it has double hump heads and that's all I know. Anything else I can look for to give me anymore info

62-67 327 2 bolt mains

That number was used from 62 through 65 (and up to 67 in trucks) for 327's ranging from 250 to 350 HP. The suffix codes on the front of the block will tell you what HP it was originally. The block is a 2 bolt main (as all 327's are) with a small journal forged crank (not cast). The double hump heads are the high performance heads (often called fuely heads), they came standard with 1.94 intake valves, the high HP model had the the coveted (at the time) large 2.02 intake valves. These were the heads to have back then and run well even today, although they should have hardened seats installed for todays gas.
Regardless which motor it is, it will push that T plenty fast and look COOL doing it. Tune it up and have fun!
