The Sherman with the Chrysler Multi Bank (M4A4?) actually had a hull modification as it was some inches longer in the engine compartment to fit it in. Many thousands of tanks were produced with that power plant so it must have been viable or there was a gap to be filled that couldn't be filled in a more expedient manner.
I have no idea how they performed in comparison to other engines and would be curious to know. David

Chrysler Multibank
Are there any of those Chryslers still running?
Here we had the triple sidevalve V8 Cadillac engine, called I think the Perrier Cadillac.

Yes, my M4A4 has its original engine. As far as I know there are four multibanks running worldwide.

Do you have some video of it? Be interesting to hear what it sounds like.
