Will a .50 Cal Stop A Running Engine?

Yes. Just one headshot to the driver and the vehicle with the running engine stops - guaranteed.

The question posed is whether a .50 cal will stop a Running Engine, not whether it will stop Vehicle with a running engine. A stopped vehicle can still have a running engine.

Take out the radiator and the engine will seize up. Good chance of also destroying the fan belt driven items. Saw a Vietnam armored field electric generator that had two 50 cal rounds go through the armor protected radiator while it was running. Engine was completely seized up and a scrap pill of metal. As you say one round for the radiator and one for a head shot of the driver.
