  • which was the better engine in the Shermans the continental or the ford?

  • @Robkat3751 The Continental is a modified airplane engine used in a tank, The Ford was specially made for the Sherman and was more powerful than the Continental. I prefer the noise of the continental, but the Ford is more reliable.

  • What's with the bucket of coolant?...if the engine is 'air-cooled'...what's the need of circulating coolant?

  • It is not water but oil. Inside the engine compartment, there is a oil tank for the engine. The oil pump takes the oil from the oil tank, pumps inside the engine and goes back into the oil tank after having been filtered.

  • No, It´s water! The engine was water cooled! Otherwise you are right!

  • The Ford V8 GAA, the 30 cyl. Chrysler A 57 mutibank, the 6 cyl in line GM diesel, were water cooled. But the Continental 9 cyl radial is air cooled.

  • EXCELLENT SOUNDTRACK.

    I LOVE IT.

  • sounds like music in my ears.

  • I have driven both and the FORD was superior ,in my opinion

  • I have driven both anf the FORD was superior ,in my opinion

  • That's one sweet Continental. I like the impromptu oil tank . . .

  • @harentrois heck i like hte sherman, its had many different eingines in it. i agree vs ford tho. but i guess it was in where the unit was going, and what was available etc

  • those 2 guys are using the exhaust as a fucking electric fan. must be hot. =)

  • No replacement for displacement

  • I must confess that I did not know there was more than one engine used in Shermans. I thought they were built by GM's Cadillac Division and were of V8 design. This radial blows me away. But then WWII was 5 years before me, and my affection has always been for the aircraft it produced.

  • Can someone explain why they sit right under the exhaust manifold? lol?
