He's got a Pratt R-4360 but it's a little big for the "Flybug"
How about an R-680-17 Lyncoming?
Hes got several of those. He fired one up while I was there. They may be a bit more of a manageable size too.
Who knows? He might have an R985. He's got a few spare Pratt parts:
R-4360s are awesome. Howd you like to gap 56 sparkplugs then set valve clearance on 56 valves, pulling 56 rocker box covers. Still, I want to work on them!. The Spruce Goose has 8 of those babies!
Cant wait to drive the Corsair with one!
Lyc 680, helped hang one on a Stinson floatplane, I hear they are ok engines!
