What is the application of the engine?

Hi Jack

What is the application aircraft or vehicle? Is this the same engine as used in some US tanks?

Cheers Phil

Hello Phil,

This engine was built for use in a tank. The engine shown does not have its cooling fan & shrouds fitted. The pipes I need do not need a known history or certification as they would for aircraft use. As I understand it the major mechanical difference in the engines is that the tank engine has a lower compression ratio (5.7/1).

Thank you,
Jack
