    1100 CID Aluminum WW-II Sherman Tank Engine
    « on: February 07, 2007 - 03:45:49 PM »
    This is a very cool guy in my book.  :2thumbs:
    You gotta check this out!! This guy is putting an 1100 cubic inch aluminum World War II Sherman tank engine into a 1970 Ford Mustang.  :wow: It would be SO MUCH better if it was in a MOPAR, but still very cool. Apparently this all aluminum engine was very high tech for WW-II, 4 valves per cylinder ect and capable of putting out gobs of horsepower with some modern technology. Check out the link below. You gotta luv this guy!!  :droolingbounce:

    You thought Fords were slow getting off the line now... try getting off the line with a big, bulky tank motor under (and partway over) the hood!

    Since the two companies are now one, JCW, who knows the answer to this WWII era soldier's question:

    How many Shermans does it take to kill a Panzer?

    Yep, soldiers commonly said that it took six Shermans to take out a Panzer: five to distract it and one to sneak around and shoot it in the rear armor.

    Panzer was the German colloquial term for a tank, Tiger was a model of German heavy tank. :thumbsup:
