What type of Gasoline Engine would've you mounted in a M26 Pershing Tank if you had to get at least 700 BHP?

What engine or combination of engines would you mount into a M26 Pershing if you were told you you could adapt the engine bay but had to use a gasoline engine producing at a minimum of 700 BHP.
I've always been curious if the Metor would have fit. I suppose it probably would. Doesn't quite get you 700hp but it was available, reliable and would have made the tank adequate. Of course the air-cooled Continental engine was already in the works
