2 unusual facts about Chrysler A57 multibank


Chrysler A57 multibank

Created in 1941 as America entered World War II, the A57 Multibank engine was born out of the necessity for a rear-mount tank engine to be developed and produced, in the shortest time possible for use in M4A4 Medium tank.

The M4A4 was largely supplied to the British, the US preferring the M4A3 with a more conventional V8 engine, and restricting their M4A4s from overseas use.
