As noted, the radial engine was installed just like on the M4/M4A1. The only difference would be that the exhaust piping extending back to the rear just under the engine deck would be a little longer, to account for the longer hull. The pipes exit the same as the other tanks, and hte air cleaners fit the same way too.

Outside, just like a M4/M4A1. You'll see soon enough.
