V12 Panzer engine probably from a Tiger 2
These ran on petrol not diesel.

Interesting that they are air cooled by the looks of it.

It is. On the battlefield for instance in the Ardennes conflict when re-fuelling often in a hurry, spilling oily diesel around would cause a skating rink and slow tank crews and re fuellers down making a slippery mess, petrol being cleaner and causing much less smoke from exhaust giving positions away was preferred.

As ferocious as German tanks were in WW2, these things were so unreliable especially compared to M4 Shermans and the T-34 (which also had some reliability issues at first).
There's so many accounts of P-47s lighting up abandoned German tanks because they just didn't work. |
