    I've just purchased a '75 Dino GT4. After reviewing the service manual it doesn't look like the car has a detachable sub frame to remove the engine/transmission and drive train assembly. I'm assuming that the engine has to come out of the top of the car in order to perform a major service. Can anyone point me to web site or a thread that has a good checklist or procedures for removing the engine/trans from a '75 Dino. Thanks........Chris

    No 308 have the engine subframe setup.They all come out from the top.I think Mondial have them but it might just be the T version,am not sure though,348,355,360,430 have the subframe set up only.There are goodthrads about GT4 engine removal as well as a thread about how not to remove the engine(be extra careful about the rear window,its NLA and hard to find as well)
    Edit: Thanks Birdman for clearing it up :D

    All Mondials have the engine subframe assembly. But not the GT4. Out the top!

    You can do just about anything with the engine in place in a GT4. You'll get used to bending your arms at painful angles to get the front bank cam cover nuts off! ;) Actually, it's not that bad at all.

    Actually, the best advice I can give is:

    WATCH OUT FOR THE METAL RAIN SHIELD on the underside of the hatch. I've hit my head on that plenty of times in the last few months.
