M35A2 Military Truck - Baddest Jeep Ever
At the heart of our M35A2 was this 7.8L (478-cubic inch) I-6 multi-fuel Continental turbodiesel engine rated at 180hp and 305lb-ft of torque. The engine alone weighs almost 1,600 pounds, has a bore and stroke of 4.56 x 4.87 inches, a 22:1 compression ratio, and holds 511/42 gallons of oil. It featured twin oil and fuel filters, an engine-driven air compressor, and it didn't have any problem firing up at 20-degrees Fahrenheit. It also redlined at 2,600 rpm. So while it wasn't exactly a powerhouse, we bet it would run forever on anything from kerosene, to diesel, and even JP-8 jet fuel.
