I just need to get an A&P cert from the FAA to make them happy, to my knowledge. I think there are two R-2800's localy
available to rebuild for hands-on practice. But, an R-2800 is still a 4-stroke engine, runs the same, and rebuilds the same
(for the most part) except for the ring cam, to a 350 V8, 292 inline 6, Mack END673 diesel, or even a Briggs 8HP. The rebuild manuals for these engines seem to be very detailed, and I would not think it would be that hard to get a pretty good engine made, so long as I don't rush and do something retarded, like screw up the valve guides/seats. Now, a "perfect" one, that will take years of experiance, but I think I could do at least as good as the people that did the $120,000 "10-hour-wonder" B-29 R-3350's did.
