·Couple of corrections/addition...fwiw
>>The 400 GT is basically the same car as the 350 GT (Some call it 350 P400), the main difference is the bigger engine. It's bore was up rated from 77 to 82 mm. and the compression was higher (10,2:1) The 400 GT has a different grille, air intakes on the bonnet and a leather dashboard in stead of the polished aluminium one of the 350 GT. <<
There are too many variables on the 400GTs to even begin to pin them down. But basically, the 400GTs were the first lambo to have lambo's own tranny and rear end (and, of course, the 400 motor). The 350 had a salisbury rear and ZF tranny. The 400GT was pretty much made up of parts left over from the 350 run combined with parts for the new 400GT (2+2) run. Some 350s had air intakes on the bonnet, and I'm not sure what is meant by "polished aluminum" dashboard of the 350, it was leather or vinyl...I think.
P400 is the Miura, as P stands for posteriore or rear (if my spelling is right). Never heard of 350 P400, but then there are lots of things I've never heard of.
>>400 GT 2+2
The 400 GT 2+2 is a car as Ferruccio Lamborghini had in mind : fast, 4 seats and room for their luggage. It made it's first appearance on the 1966 Salon de Geneve. The 400 GT 2+2 is based on the 350/400 chassis, but the wheel bearings were different to create more space in the interior, it was not made of aluminium but of steel, so it was much heavier. It is the first car with a by Lamborghini produced gear-box and differential (on the 350/400 they used a ZF-box and Salisbury differential). <<
The 400GT 2+2 (which I own) was basically a marketing ploy to sell more cars since everybody wanted to show their wives what a smart thing it would be to buy one. The rear seats are not really useful for adults, tho maybe for kids. Same luggage space as 350/400 as far as I know. Rear wheel bearings are probably the same too. The change they made was to take the rear end "leading arms" and make them "trailing arms." (ok, actually links, or whatever, but that was the main change they made to make room for the rear seats.)
And as I mentioned for the 400GT, the 400GT and 400GT 2+2 have the exact same drive train, all by lamborghini.
One more thing -- most of these cars have variances from each other. Again, they were pretty much putting together whatever they had on the shelves, combined with what the owner wanted.
Hope I haven't made too many mistakes!
