Though some Shermans did have the radial engine, think it was not the
standard engine. Think the radial was in the ones designed for wading at
Normandy. Don't know what the standard engine was though it was gasoline
and prone to barbecuing its crew.
How did the Israelis modify the Sherman?? They supposedly modified them so
they were quite a good tank. They used them at least into the 70's, I think
because of these mod's.
