Neither. It's a Ford GAA DOHC tank engine. They didn't want to franchise the Rolls engine, so they built their own.

How in the heck is he going to cool that thing? Not much room left for a radiator, plus the heat inside the car has to be unbearable.
And to think that we used to use scrap Sherman tanks for target practice with the 3.5 bazooka and the .50 MG and it had that kind of engine!! The M60 Patton's that I worked on and occasionally drove had a big ol' V12 diesel
