Not in real life
 but there's plenty of info on the net.Absolutely awesome engine, all alloy and DOHC yet after WW2 Ford then went and made old cast iron pushrod engines for its succession of cars  They are now sought after in the US for mods and transplants etc but $25K is a big ask even for one in Oz.

I though shermans ran on diesel and the Wehrmacht's tanks ran on petrol, as in the low gasoline mileage of the TIGER was its Achilles heal.

US Marine M4A2's, Russian and British lend lease & NZ, Canadian, and Polish European theatre Sherman's were Diesel. US Army Western European area of Operations were Petrol, for the most part M4A3 family ( hence the Ford V8 ). |

Speaking of tank engines check out this beast,
Chrysler A57 Multibank. 5 inline sixes around a common crankcase. http://the-sherman-shop.freeforums.n...ltibank-engine

Euro Shermans were nick-named "Ronsons" by the germans. Lights first time.
