Not a modelling question but who would be a SME on sherman engines? I have a friend who has found several carbs in a barn that he needs identified. Any help would be appreciated

hmvf there are M10 and Sherman rebuilds

Walkaround photos of M4A3 and M4A2 engines out of the tank here:

Click on "Walkarounds" and look at the bottom of the first page on the right. Click on the photo to get the full walkaround.

The M4 and M4A1 used a 9 cyl Continental radial engine with an aircraft type carburator. The M4A2 was powered by 2 GMC 6-71 diesels (no carbs) The M4A3 used a big Ford GAA V8 which has two aircraft type carburators, one at each end. The M4A4 was built by Chrysler and used a composite of 5 Chrysler engines called a Multibank. Each engine had its own carburator. Most of those went to the British. The M4A6 used a Caterpillar radial diesel (no carbs). There were also a few built with Gulberson diesels. Most of the diesel powered tanks went to the Marines or the Soviet Union.
Hope this helps.
