Nice idea but I highly doubt the Panther engine would fit or be changed into a Sherman :D

Now a concept Sherman is fitting a 90mm into it or torsion bar suspension ;D

I think the Israelis used a panther derivative gun on some Sherman’s after the war!

Yeah the story is the Russians kept push so they used what German tank factories that could produce tanks and they started to produce Sherman's but using parts like the 75L/70 and the engines left over

Who’d of thunk it !
A Panther engine deck fits a Sherman !!
