No I just got to reading about the Pratt & Whitney radial that the jugs on that 5.0l V twin were sourced from. Found those pictures on the interwebs and shared them here.

They look pretty neat. I didn't realize that there were more engines with one piece cylinder/head assemblies than the Offenhauser engines.
Those cylinders have GOT to be expensive to cast and machine.

I imagine so, there's a Pratt & Whitney Double Wasp on eBay for 1/2 a million bucks! 
So, is a "single" Wasp worth 1/4 million?
eBay
In reply to bigdaddylee82:
Did you read the fine print? That listing is for two NOS engines, so at a half Million it's a deal!

Integrated head and cylinder is the standard for all air cooled aircraft engines, normally called jugs (snicker):
Some more then others

Four row radial?? Jeez, I bet the rear cylinders ran a mite hot!
Toasted in Autumn last night.

Styer Motors does a monoblock diesel with the block and head cast as one. nice engines.
The original airplane engine (for the Wright Flyer):
12HP Inline four, with magneto ignition, no fuel pump, no carburetor per se, and no throttle!
Was the hellish bug drinking from the lava lake deliberate or just a coincidence?
