Hi there some village friends found this plane while bull dozing their la d to plant Oil Palm and brought this engine out. Can you help identify or direct me to somewhere where I can get assisted.

Ta.

This is a P&W R-2800 engine. Two banks of 9 cylinders, the push rod tappets are the small points around the crankcase, and the front secondary counterbalance drive gear rusted where the prop shaft connected.
 
Or one of several other 18 cylinder engines with pushrod tubes? R-2800 pistons will be very near 5.75 inches in diameter. :)
