that looks like a Pratt and Whitney R-2800...BTW if anyone wants to see the innards of a Wasp Major, the Evergreen Air Museum in McMinville, OR has a cutaway Wasp Major to go w/ it's Spruce Goose

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.
