Cylinder Identification Help Please

Sun Dec 17, 2023 8:15 am

I have been toting this cylinder head around for years and never have figured out what engine it is from. It's a bit odd as it has the intake and exhaust and intake manifolds on opposite sides of the head. I always assumed it was from a radial of some kind but after looking at pictures of everything from a R985 to a R4360 I can't seem to make sense of it. I'm sure someone will recognize it straight away.
Thank you,
Steve

Possibly 1820, but it is a Curtiss Wright.
