What happens when you combine military engineering with drag racing madness?
In this video, we explore one of the most insane chapters in motorsports history - when drag racers in the 1960s decided conventional engines weren't enough and started bolting 3,000-pound Continental AV-1790 tank engines into custom dragsters. These 29.3-liter V12 monsters from M47 Patton tanks produced earth-shaking torque that could twist normal chassis into pretzels. Discover how pioneers like Ted Teixeira and Harry Hibler attempted to harness 1,000+ horsepower from engines designed for battlefield reliability, the engineering nightmares they faced, and why this wild experiment ultimately failed but forever changed drag racing innovation.
