Actually there are nowadays, with China being suggested to convert MTU396, imported as claimed train/boat engines to power Type 99 (tank) and Type 039 (subs).  Similar products exist with Catepillar, Cummins, etc.  The only trouble is a bit heavier and longer. 


Fun fact: Some of the fanboys from China in early 2000s was not happy with the overall larger dimension of the Type 99 right from the beginning and claimed there will be a shorter version with more compact engines.  Of course that did not exist.
