I have rebuilt my 400 engine and auto box and it is now ready to go back in the car. I have a crane and can jack the car up on stands but what I need to know is what is the best way to fit it - auto box first then the engine or as a complete engine/trans unit?

Maybe the new fibre washers are thinner than the old ones and the banjo bolt is bottoming out on the carb. Try fitiing an extra washer to each carb and see if this helps.

We are booked in for teh evening Spring Ball and then lunch the next day

Stephanm is correct. I spoke to an auto box specialist here in the UK about any differences and we decided between us that there are none that we could identify, and if there are any they are not anything your shop would have any control over.

I have one here. What are you trying to find out. I ask because of two reasons: 1) If you are looking for a workshop manual type book then this is not very good.

My guess is that yours would be the same part number but you may want to confirm that. Assuming it is Superformance (www.superfo...

Could the hole be for the steering column if the car was right-hand drive?

Ian, this is sad news. Hope it goes easy for you. What has happened to your engine?

Hi Graham

Congrats on the MOT, a nice Christmas present. Where abouts in the UK are you. I am just outside of London near St Albans and we have regular Ferrari meetings with the Hertfordshire Area Group of the FOC. Not too many old cars but a few (365GTB/4, 365BBs, 246, 400s etc).

Come on guys. What was the phone call about? I would like to know the answers also. Just in case ......

Simon

Very sorry to hear this. Hope you find it again.

I have a good friend who has just bought a Boxer engine/transmission in Hobrook (?) NY. What we now need to do is to ship this to the UK. The seller has promised to crate the unit. Anyone know a reliable and good shipper who can help us out herre?

Simon

If I could afford it I would add a 'Queen Mary' 365GT to my 400 and 365BB. A beautiful, graceful car.
