I was at the Great Lakes International Aviation Conference this past weekend. One ofthe mechanic schools had this on display. It is for a Pratt and Whitney R-2800 radial.
Cool! I had a few of those when I used to collect warbird radials. I had sweet R-2800 out of a P-47 D, sold it to an engineering company and they have it swinging a 14' prop to do destructive wind testing on building structures.
I was going to say, that thing had to be out of an airplane.

You, my friend, have had an interesting life!
I'd love to build an old school looking race car with a big radial engine up front (or out back). That'd be awesome!
Ah the R-2800. The Chevy small block of the aviation world.
I have one of those - mine supposedly is for a R-4360 engine in a B-29, and it's new old stock. I found it at a garage sale, of all places, and bought it for $20. 
Warning: airplane geek on
B-29s had Wright R-3350s. The B-50 had P&W R 4360.

I had one similar from a PT boat.. wish I knew what happened to it
I've always described carburetors as basically toilet tanks full of fuel. That one more so than others Stuart, you need to incorporate yours into a toilet.

i think it almost made a lap under it's own power before breaking something..
