Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 & 365 GT 2+2 - Running-In two 1960's V12 Rebuilds | Tyrrell's Classic Workshop

This time around, Iain introduces us to two classic Italian Grand Tourers from the 1960's, the Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 and its successor, the 365 GT 2+2. Both cars have undergone an engine rebuild in the workshop, with the 365 also treated to a full interior re-trim as featured in previous workshop catchups on the channel. After a brief history lesson on these underrated classics, it's time to tune the V12 engines before taking the cars out to put some early running miles on the clock.
Thank you once again to everyone for the overwhelming reception of these videos and for all the support of likes, subscribes and wonderful comments.

These are my favorite Ferraris. An age of beautiful design.

[@sleepwalker8600]

I would really like to see more content on the mechanical work the cars go through like we did with Harry’s Lamborghini but I still look forward to each upload, Iain really knows his stuff and is so easy to listen too.

[@lebojay]

I’d love a whole video on engine break-in theory. So many conflicting opinions, but I’d trust Iain to give us the facts.

[@davidburne9477]

Indeed, just about to install and run-in a Moto Guzzi 850 Le Mans engine and would love to know the right way, because there’s plenty of opinions…. I expect the approach is different for vintage vs new tech given some of the cylinder linings available these days.

[@marcryvon]

@@davidburne9477 Go the old trusted way: don"t rev the engine, nor choking, overloading it, drive smoothly, not at a constant speed, through the gear ratios, let it get to it's normal running temp, let cool down, repeat. Then change the oil after, say 200 miles. Done. Good luck !

[@RupertReynolds1962]

Yes, a lot of conflicting advice. Some of it depends on what engine, because the situation's changed a bit over the years, with changes in materials and machining. Nobody asked me, but here's my take: the biggest sin of all is to have too much cylinder pressure (related to throttle opening) and heat from blow-by before the rings are bedded-in. Future performance depends on a good ring seal. So drive almost normally, not harshly, speed up, slow down, use the gearbox, consider changing down for steeper hills, and let the revs rise gently within your chosen rev range. And 500 miles in a day at steady speed is a lot less helpful than a number of heat cycles with some variety. So saying, watch the gauges and feel the engine loosen up with time. I had a friend who saw oil temperature rising everytime revs got close to 1/2 maximum ans it didn't feel free. The cause? Previous owner had rebored it, but not adjusted the ring gaps--the poor engine was close to seizing!

[@farv4207]

@@RupertReynolds1962 Yeah last year I got an Audi RS5 Sportback and people thought I was weird when I said I was going to take a longer way home so the car got up to proper oil temperature. Its a race car and short trips are not good for her. Would love to hear his thoughts on the topic you mentioned.

[@RupertReynolds1962]

@@farv4207 Even my old clunker gets taken "the long way around" every week or so, to keep the oil free of water and unburned fuel. Mind you, things are better than they were, with water/oil heat exchangers, better oil and better materials and machining. In the bad old days you could drive for 3 months and the oil would *stink* of unburned fuel, and there'd be a thick layer of 'mayonaise' inside the cam cover from all the water.

[@nomebear]

In my teens, while attending university in 1967, on my walk to class everyday a lady would pass by me driving a light blue Ferrari 365 GT. The flash of blue would take my breath away. Her other car was a '66 Coupe' de Ville. I later learned the Caddy was her backup car when the Ferrari was at the mechanics, which seemed to be quiet often.

[@marcryvon]

Ferraris are like, you know, flashy women, high heels and all. You have to be prepared for high maintenance costs. Skip on those and you'll end up stranded in Nowhereland in middle of nowhere ! Alone. 😥

[@nomebear]

@@marcryvon I remember the lady who owned the Ferrari was a flashy woman who wore expensive, Italian high heels that she would take on or off, and straighten her hose as entered or exited the Ferrari. Funny thing, I don't remember what her face looked like. Hah!

Multi-carb tuning is as much art as it is science. Getting the “ear” for it takes YEARS! I used to work on motorcycles back in the 1980’s and the older, more experienced mechanics used to blow my mind on a regular basis. It’s witchcraft! Burn her!

Yes!!! I used a vacuum garage for years, tweaking mixture screws for the highest reading possible on Motorcycles and 240Z cars...OLDER mechanic had me then listen to the throats and taught this crisp- thumpity-thump sound to me too. Probably only those V-12s will allow for coin balancing, those and straight-six engines. Ian, lovely Sir, just lovely!!! Our V8 Texas pickup trucks won't do that coin. Trick !!!

[@lindaoffenbach]

Fantastic episode again, thank you so much. On exterior design, the early 330 with twin headlights absolutely easily does stand out for me the most of these two, even considering the 365 being its successor. Why would Ferrari change to a single front light unit design I ask myself. The twin configuration looks so much more serious and elegant in my book tbh. But that's just me. I've never met you in person but reading that you've recently married, my personal congratulations and a happy life to both of you.

Excellent video yet again. I had a TR4A for a while in the 60s with overdrive which could be switched in on 2nd, 3rd and 4th. You could actually go through 7 ratios if you flicked it in and out of overdrive going up the box. Great fun although a little frantic!

[@alexbrown1995]

Didn't they have a cut out switch preventing the use of the OD in the lower gears? I remember that it was a common fiddle to remove that cut out....

[@josoap8781]

@@alexbrown1995 Yes, it was usually on 4th gear or sometimes 3rd and 4th. I don’t know if it was standard to have it on the top 3 gears on the TR4A, but that’s how mine was configured and it worked perfectly. I guess it fell out of favour due to cost, but it was a much better system than a 5 speed box.

Those are both absolutely beautiful automobiles! They look better that any modern car. I just remembered we used to tune carbs on our rental trucks at a place I worked in 1971.

The fact that you are a musician helps greatly in tuning these beautiful cars. John Lennon was besieged by car dealers the minute he got his licence. He bought this magnificent Ferrari as his first car. He soon discovered that he wasn’t a real car person when he and George drove their Ferraris through London at high speed while tripping on LSD. George was a car man but John wasn’t and soon bought a black Rolls Phantom V with Anthony the chauffeur to drive. The year was 1965. The Phantom was the car that all four Beatles used to drive to Buck House to get their MBEs. Paul McCartney was an early owner of a Aston DB6 and a Lamborghini 400 GT, as well as a 1972 Lambo Espada

The four-headlight 330 Series 1 front end was designed by an American expatriate, Tom Tjaarda, during his brief stint at Pinifarina. He also designed the beautiful and rare (14 built) 365 California Spyder, as well as the Fiat 124 Spyder, before moving to Ghia where his greatest success was the De Tomaso Pantera. The ‘Chinese eye’ look was very briefly in vogue (also used on the Jensen C-V8 and Bentley Continental) but quickly fell out of favor, and the two-headlight 330 Series 2 front end (which he did not design, as he had already left by that point) was viewed in a far more positive light, both then and now.

Your comment that a true GT is a car you can get in and drive a few hundred Kilometres and get out not feeling destroyed (??, ) is perfect. I can't afford a classic car but I recently drove my 2014 Mercedes C250 CDI Sport Coupe ( Not suggesting this is anything like a Ferrari but the AMG upgrades help) from Gold Coast to Sydney (928kms) in a day and returned 4 days later. It purred along at 130-145km/h and I stepped out feeling fine. Less than 1.5 tanks of fuel return was also great. Maybe one day I will get a classic car but as I am almost 60 time is running out

Owned a TR6 with over drive on, I believe 3&4. Most of the driving was in 3rd, just flicking the lever up and down. It was one of the features I loved most on the car. Coincidently, those days, I remember dreaming of someday owning the 330 GT 2+2. At the time, it seemed to be one of the more "affordable" Ferrari's. If I remember correctly, they were priced around the cost of a 308? This would have been late 80's/early 90's. I'm sure that's all changed now. Speaking of Tr6's, thought I saw a purple one in your shop. Love to see a show featuring one.
