I may not call it restoration but.........

Time for an update on the Black Dog.
I was able to get a reasonably decent trunk floor a few weeks ago, haven't gotten it in yet, it will need some minor surgery first. I also spent a good day in the garage working on the cylinder heads that I have, I managed to get one of the 360 heads cobbled up, the other one I doubt can be saved. My 340X heads will need more than I can afford to do at this time, I got them disassembled to bare castings, guides are in rough shape, got a quote of $1200.00 to rebuild them, they do appear to have had some port work done, but I just don't have the cash to do them. I followed up an ad for a 360 block and heads and pieced a second head together, plus I got another freshly machined bare 360 block for $150.00, not that I needed it, but couldn't pass it up for the price.

Today I got the heads bolted on, and torqued down, primed the oil pump, got 80 psi on the gauge from my electric drill, rotated the crank several times until I had oil circulating through the entire engine. Then I got out the spray bomb and gave her some color.
