Restored Continental AV1790-5B tank engine at the American Armored Foundation Tank Museum in Danville, Virginia
The Continental AV1790 is an American V12 engine used in armored vehicles. Produced by Continental Motors, the AV1790 was used in a variety of limited production and pilot heavy tanks, including the M53 and M55 howitzers, and the T30 and M103 tanks.
There were also diesel versions (AVDS,[1] Air Cooled, V-engine configuration, Diesel, Superturbocharged) for the M47, M48, and M60 Patton tanks, and the Swedish Stridsvagn 104 (British-built Centurions, re-engined with diesel engines in the 1980s).
