It seems several people are looking for a Multibank or Multibank parts. Where did the French leave all those Multibanks when they converted their M4A4's to Radial engines???

Definitely it is in good hands - an experienced tank restorer with eye for detail.

The Sherman VC restored in France last year was fitted with GMC diesels.

The Sherman from the Normandy museum which sold to the chap in USA had a GAA.

Good question - where did all the Multibank engines go.

Scrapped is my guess.
