I hit the link figuring someone had put two 550cid V8s together into a V16. WOW that thing is big!

Never knew the Shermans used gasonline engines, most tanks back then were diesel. No wonder the crews called them Ronsons!

Here's a link to one running in a tank.
Gives a much better sound to imagine what it might sound like in a car.

Boy is it a PURTY sound!
I would love to hear that in a car!
Where do I get one???
Gotta make a set of headers though, the manifolds just don't do it justice.

Are those frame rails solid steel? ha ha, You my need a out rigger to keep the car from rolling over when this thing starts to spin. Very nice work. What does the engine weigh and what kind of tranny will hook to this?

What kind of torque? Any power adders? Just think what this thing would do with some boost! Still curious what tranny you plan to bolt to this thing. Sherman M4A3 at what? 35 tons, and this car at maybe 3500 lbs. I like it! Thats all Madden. Don't think the "SB's all under the hood" would have the same shock effect. Kinda like a kitten and a pissed off lion.
