A big WOW on that one... lol...
Hey, is that the hybrid version?
Note this:
"All aluminum 1100 cubic inch V8 used in WWII Sherman Tanks. These were gas burners rated at 500 HP and 1050 Ft. Lbs. of torque for military service, but are capable of much much more using mostly stock parts. They feature a 60 degree vee, 5.4 bore x 6.0 stroke, 180 degree factory billet cranks, pent roof combustion chambers, shaft driven DOHC's, 4 valves per cylinder, and dual mags. They are pretty high tech. engines, especially considering they were built in the early 40's. "
The technology that was developed during WWII never ceases to amaze me.

Yes, and the fact that the germans developed a green synthetic oil (history channel) to run their tanks in the extreme cold... Very amazing what WWII produced.
Bit tame. Here's a street registerd RR Merlin V12 in a 55 Chev. Saw this at Summernats here in Canberra. Make sure you click page two.
For some reason I don't think that Powerglide will be lasting too long, not sure why...

Sounds like it with the 60° V deal.
