Very well. Mine has just finished filming with four others, an M4A1, an early M4A2, a late M4A2 and an M4 late with a modern Mercedes diesel.

Default Chrysler Multibank

Are there any of those Chryslers still running?

Here we had the triple sidevalve V8 Cadillac engine, called I think the Perrier Cadillac.

Yes, my M4A4 has its original engine. As far as I know there are four multibanks running worldwide.

Adrian forgot to mention that he did a total rebuild of the engine in his tank Keith. Quite a task by anyones reckoning.
