Roady,

I guess you haven't heard that Pratt & Whitney has just jumped into the crusier market with BOTH FEET, huh?!

Those babies are EVERYWHERE here in the States.

Cheers,

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

That definitely looks like a Pratt & Whitney Wasp radial engine. One of the most beautiful aero engine ever made IMHO.

You can find out here, http://www.rotecradialengines.com/
there is a link to email them for a quote. Some videos of their engines in action too. Considering the market and the problems getting aircraft stuff certified, there is no doubt that they cost a lot.
