Does anyone know if wartime M5 halftracks were originally fitted with any engine other than the Red 450? Would they have been replaced with other engines like the White?
I believe fitting a White engine into an M5 would involve a new transmission, not sure if anyone has ever put a white engine into an M5 halftrack and if so what would be involved?

The same transmission will work. The bell housing, and the input shaft are different. Motor mounts would probably have to be changed. Radiator also.

Re: M5 Halftrack Engine Question
Does anyone have experience of installing a White halftrack engine into an M5 Halftrack?
