Hi Gary,
What tank are you building?
Tamiya makes a German tank engine maintenance crew set, kit #35180.
The set includes 2 mechanics, 1 engine for either their King Tiger, Tiger I, Sturmtiger, Panther or Jagdpanther kits, a ladder, fuel drum and a variety of tools and mechanics gear.
Once assembled, the engine just fits into the engine bay of whichever kit you're building.
Tamiya also make a mechanic and engine set for their Kubelwagens, kit # 35220.
Italeri's Panther, Tiger I and Sturmtiger kits have an engine included but they're not as detailed as the Tamiya kits.
Cheers

Verlinden also makes/made many engine compartments.

Gerry, not knowing what your finances are, Jaguar makes engines 1/35 for T-34 and M-8/M-20. TWS makes complete interior w/ engine for an early M-4 and Resicast has a sherman transmission.Expensive so figure your prioritys.

Verlinden also makes a nice 'disassembled' Panther engine if you want the look of a major repair work in the dio.

Cheers,
Charles
