The Shermans had the R975, originally the C-1, superceded by the C-4. They were both built as tank engines though using some aircraft parts. The C-4 was an improved model with many changes.
The M3 Lee/Grants had the R975 EC2 which was an aircraft engine modified to fit in tanks.
The M3 Stuarts had a seven cylinder Continental W-670 of 250 hp. This is essentially a Boeing PT17 engine, again modified for tank use.
