It would certainly make a decent sized hole and "bullet" doesn't even

take a look at anti tank rounds on google

Which don't look anything at all like an engine block as a projectile.

The anti tank round shoots a slug of copper but if you had a shaped
charge behind that engine it would go for a ride.

But where? This is hardly a smart bomb in design. Also, the copper
slug behaves much differently physically, aerodynamically, etc., from
the engine and that would make a difference. As was mentioned, anti tank
rounds can be aimed, the engine block really can't even if "ejected" by
a shaped charge.
