And in the process you'll be throwing tracks, loosing road wheels and 
all sorts of problems along the way. The differences in suspension 
for certain types of armored vehicles isn't the same. You couldn't 
have dropped a stronger engine into a churchill with a different 
transmission and expected that suspension to handle that kind of 
movement.
