I wish more of the younger generation would get off there f***ing video games and join a restoration club or something to learn something else beside trying to kill each other online. I would have LOVED to do this type of thing as a kid! My Dad and I had an old 1941 "Ferguson Ford" 9N tractor and it was fun to keep that old thing going and actually being able to use it to make money on the weekends. Thanks for doing this awesome build and video!

Yes. There were many many variants with different power ratings as the engine design developed. The R-1820-97 powered the B-17G, with a turbo supercharger. The data plate should tell which sub-version this is, and from there one can research which A/C it powered. Note: during WWII many 1820 were build for B-17s under license by Studebaker.

Superb and highly skilled restoration of a great engine! Note the cam ring (one for intake, one for exhaust) only has four lobes. Strangely (to me anyway) it rotates in the opposite direction of the crankshaft, at only one-fourth engine speed. Some really clever engineers designed this engine. Firing order is 1-3-5-7-9-2-4-6-8. At least it is on the Pratt & Whitney R2800 so I assume is the same for the Cyclone. Fascinating engineering.

The Wright Cyclone is an unsung hero of the second world war, it powered duds like the Brewster Buffalo and the Curtis-Wright CW-21 Demon, that's true but the ratio in which it powered legends is MUCH greater. Among the legends are: - The Grumman F4F Wildcat - The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress - The Douglas DC-1, DC-2 and early versions of the DC-3 (which also came with P&W Twin Wasps) - The Douglas SBD Dauntless - The North American AT-6 Texan / Noorduyn Harvard - The Sikorsky H-34.

Orville and Wilbur Wright made the Wright Company in 1909. -> Wright-Martin 1916 -> Wright Aeronautical 1919 -> Curtiss-Wright 1929. Curtiss-Wright made the 1820 Cyclone in the 1930s. So, yeah, kind of the original Wright brothers, but not really. This is my 5 minute Wiki look-up.
