always had Allison engines. Specifically variants of the Allison T56 Turbo-prop. Indeed the T56 was specifically developed
for the Herc.
The current C-130J (or 'Super Hercules') has Rolls-Royce AE2100 Turbo-props but these themselves are a derivative of the Allison AE 1107C-Liberty, Allison being now part of Rolls-Royce North America.
