@SamDamewood Well, thats not what you said.. you said; "WWII Sherman did not use that engine" They built over 12,500 GAA powered M4A3 Shermans alone not including thousands of GAA powered variants... hardly a sideshow. The invasion of France didn't even start till June 44'
-
That's right, in 1944.
The majority had the Wright.
The rest were a sideshow compared to regular production.

@SamDamewood Thats not true, Ford GAA powered M4 tanks went into service during WW2 in 1944, it was used in M4A3 models including 'W', 'E2','E8' and many M4 variants most notably the M-36 Jackson. The Chrysler 20cyl. Multi-bank was also used in many M4 variants during the war including the M4 "Firefly"

Actually a WWII Sherman did not use that engine.
They used a Wright R-975 J6 whillwind, a nine cyl air cooled radial engine
-
@Flyboy207 Earlier ones yes, later ones used the Ford motor, actually.. there was about a half dozen different engines that were used in them.
-
I always thought they used radial aircraft engines...

@mikermhh Rules I think...pushrod, V-8, 2 valve, 5.8 liter...outside of that, they have nothing resembling a 'stock' car engine...as we know it. Like the 'Harley' (code for) drag race motors...V-2, aircooled, pushrod, 2 valve.
If you want to hear a real tank engine? check out the Maybach HL230 or MB873

Listen to me. I am prepared to give 5, no wait, 4 crisp one dollar bills for this engine! Personally, I think it is a great deal.
