WTG Jugman, It's an R2000-7.  We overhaul these for the RAAF in Australia.  It's used on the Caribou.  During the war, it was used on the C-54 Skymaster (DC-4) aircraft.  It's actually a R1830-94 that has the cylinder bore increase by 0.25 for additional displacement.  It used plain bearings vs. the R1830's roller bearings.  The R2000 was manufactured by Pratt & Whitney and Buick.
