the good news is that the engine runs on regular pump gas

Sadly, that was one of the worst things about the engine when it was in the tank. It made them even more likely to be a death trap for the crew than tanks ordinarily are.
What I can't imagine is how you can make an 1800 cubic INCH motor, wrapped in a tank chassis and shell, air cooled. And I wonder what the redline is on that engine. I'm guessing 3000 RPM or so. Would be a hell of a stump puller!
But in the final analysis, I love it! I'm a DIY guy from way back and love unlikely projects like this.
