i read somewhere that it was all aluminum....maybe lighter than you think

The Ford GAA engine is an all aluminum, 32 valve, DOHC, 60 degree V8 engine produced by the Ford Motor Company during World War II. The engine was used to power several models and derivatives of the M4A3 Sherman tank. The engine displaces 1100 cubic inches, and puts out over 1000 ft lbs of torque from idle to 2600 rpm. Maximum rated horsepower was 525@2800 rpm though most models were rated at 450HP.

Gas mileage was about 0.8 miles per gallon for the 30 ton Sherman Tank.
