This 1944 Cadillac V8 was meant to end up in a tank on the European Front, but never made it. I guess it wasn't for exactly a tank, but some smaller tracked vehicle.

The... Pershing? No, Chaffee? Ah, one of them had a dual engine setup, this fits the bill for that.
Most tracked vehicles and such had White, Diamond, and other inline 6-es.
Single engine solutions for tanks were powered by 16L+ engines such as a Wright 975, 7 cylinder monsters.

Depends on the torque. You can have a small engine moving large objects if the gearing allows, see: VW buswhc03grady wrote:This 1944 Cadillac V8 was meant to end up in a tank on the European Front, but never made it.
