ShermanVC

Unfortunately not sure which model the Slapton tank is - but even if it were an M4A4, the engine would be too badly corroded to be of use.

Engine wise, I think that Chrysler bolted 5 engines around a central core - suspect these were stock engines as undersand this was done because the Radial Aircraft engine was in short supply. To get the new "multibank" into the tank they had to stretch the chassis a little... hence the Chrysler Shermans are all a little longer than those from other manufacturers.

Good luck !!

 

Can't you look over the border in Devon at that one at Slapton Sands - joking by the way the memorial needs to left alone

 

Is the engine used in other vehicles ?

I think this might be the one and only post.

I have a Sherman M4A4 manufactured by Chrysler in August 1942.

Here on the very remote off chance someone has any parts for the Multibank engine.

Thanks.
