Ayup. I always had a strange desire for a Pratt & Whitney Wasp Major, probably one of the largest aircraft piston engines ever built. It had 28 cylinders, & displacement of 4362 cubic inches-71.5 liters. I have absolutely no use for th' damthing, but wouldn't it be Kewl to have one sittin' in yr Mancave to show off & wow yr friends with ?!? (grin)
