It's a R975 Continental TANK engine..bought for 250.00 and sold for 1000.00.
To bad it was missing to many parts to get running....other wise i would have kept it to annoy my neihbors hahahaha. If your interested type in the name of it on youtube..the guy has one on a trailer....it makes beautiful sound...smoke and fire.... ..oh the one in the planter is running ..hahahaha

[PaceMaster]

It's 9 cylinders...very low compression for a tank app....80 octane it will still run..used in US Sherman Tanks....I sold it to a company that restores old WWII vehicles....they were very happy they said when they got it....check out you tube vid's --pretty cool sounds these old engines
