Of course, after the Pratt R-2800, another engine would be needed to keep the big Pratt company. I have another soft spot for the Pratt R-4360 used in the B-36. Now that was a lunker, four rows of seven cylinders and 4,000 horse power. Fifty-six mechanical valve tappets to set. Fifty-six spark plugs. Beautiful. Wonder if I could find one?

My wife just loves this sort of talk!!! hehehe! Just kidding, Honey!
