Was going swimmingly until we checked the exhaust valves (shot)...now pulling it all apart.. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
This is from a long term resto on another GT4. Same mechanic for both (auto elite) Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
nice. I too was real close this week to getting another GT4 out of Canada, but someone beat me to it, and im really pissed. It took me a week to sort out the import /export/ re-import to USA red tape. another dream shattered .
I didnt get a chance to look at this one when I was there (the GT4's were all the way in the back and I had to climb over bumpers to look at the green one) not sure what condition it's in but I think its been repriced lower as well..https://www.gullwingmotor.com/Listing/206406/1975-Ferrari-308GT4.aspx Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
thanks. link wont open but im sure its the burgundy one. the car I was desperately trying to buy was a Euro. No more US gt4s for me
When I was not looking to buy a GT4 I saw Euros for sale all the time. When I was in the market to buy, not so much. There was a guy down in TX that bought one for a car collector that needed some work. There was some discussion whether the collector would like it and keep it. I will try and find the guys e-mail and sent it to you. Perhaps you will get lucky?
The heads came off, so that's a good start! I got mine off before sending the engine to Auto-Elite. Vinny had the heads rebuilt with all ss valves - looked nice and gives a good peace of mind. He has a nice (re)production line of 308 engines going! That reminds me, I still have my 'spare' engine in there!
Ha...when I got there they had just got the heads off. Beads of sweat on both of their heads...I'm like ohhh this is going to cost me lol. I saw your engine there...looks awesome Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
That might have been me. I bought a very early mid-74 production date Euro 308 GT4 for a client of mine about three years ago; I’m in TX and he’s a car collector. Turns out that he had too many other projects and I bought the car back from him a few months ago. I was going to restore the car for my own collection, but I’d entertain selling it as-is if anyone is interested. PM me for details.
Interesting. He didnt want to do SS valves on mine. Says they are perfect. Assume I should have him change the exhaust valves while its open to address the sodium concerns? I dont think I would so the intake valves if they're in good shape.

Also I can’t think of a reason why not to renew at least all the exhaust valves. The sodium ones fail.....
