I don't think it's possible. It's not economical in a sense. All Chinese tank are going auto transmission direction which gearbox need to build into the engine to form a big power pack. AK1 Structure are not possible with auto transmission system. It will need a major redesign that will end up a VT-4 tank. Chinese are not going to go backwards by making a manual transmission engine for export or even domestic use.Or the Chinese can design an engine for AK. They should have something in place for Mbt2000, which is what AK is based on.
A very big reason why PA buys VT-4 tank. VT-4 mbt ensures PA tank fleet has no engine constraint problem while possess a leading advance power pack that can matched the west.
