I like your thinking!
I'm leaving off the horsepower to not get into that level of detail. But its gas power and I was thinking closer to a 1,000 horses. Given the maintain hogs that came before they learned key lessons and put to this one
Oki - then the best option for the time-frame is something like the Maybach HL295 - is originally planned to get 1000hp+ but they can only extract 850hp if they want a stable engine.
And 850hp for 52.3tons is very good for that time - giving a much better mobility than KT2 or IS-3 have. For example the british Centurion that also have about 51/52tons 'only' have 650hp.
