Chieftain doesn't have a V12. It has an L60 in line 6 with 12 vertically opposed pistons... But sounds awesome

Interesting how the late model L60's had a deeper engine note than the early "screamers".

I drove Chieftain in the Army! Still remember the reg on mine, 04 EB 70! Close to the reg on this one!

Donkey engine is also there to provide electrical power so you can turn the turret and operate radios without the main engine running.
