dzandkw Posted October 14, 2008 Share #1 Posted October 14, 2008 Probably the longest shot any one in the world know where i can get a ford tank engine ga-8. Looks like this one in the picture. Like i said just a long shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Meatcan Posted October 14, 2008 Share #2 Posted October 14, 2008 I'm sure I'm not the only person here curious what you are building? best of luck on the search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Apathy Posted October 14, 2008 Share #3 Posted October 14, 2008 I'm sure I'm not the only person here curious what you are building? best of luck on the search. Hi Meatcan, I would say that it is a Ford GA-8 tank engine used in the Sherman tank, however due to it's light weight and high power output it could be for a tank rebuild or maybe heading for a custom car. ?????

gecko NZ Posted October 16, 2008 Share #9 Posted October 16, 2008 if i had a tank engine i would slap it in a tank, who needs insane amounts of power when you can leave a wake of destruction behind you lol, but that V12 merlin with 3000HP though wow, it looked like he was just tapping the accelerator every now and then and it was just idling, would never be a good getaway car though, "quick we have the cash lets go.... hold on ive just got to open the oil tank switch the magneto and....." lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwb123 Posted October 17, 2008 Share #11 Posted October 17, 2008 I'm curious... I am sure you'll get a lot of torque out of this, but wouldn't the weight be a disadvantage? You will probably be able to tow a locomotive with this thing, but what kind of speed are you expecting? And what does this do to the front end handling, suspension, etc? Still, an interesting concept! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
