it needs a prop or test club for cooling and it will also act as a flywheel which im sure it needs to run happily.

@LOlamVaEd The aircraft version of this engine was mostly used in the Boeing A75 Series Stearman, also known as the US Army PT-17 "Kaydet". It was also used in the Fairchild PT-23. It's a WWII surplus engine. A number of agplanes (cropdusters), including some Stearmans, did fly with converted tank engines! Such aircraft could operate only in the Restricted Category. The DC-3 used either Curtiss-Wright R-1820s (DC-3, DC-3A, DC-3B) or, more commonly, Pratt & Whitney R-1830s (DC-3C, C-47, C-53).

did this come out of a sherman ?

Now you got er' goin' ... Time to put it to work in some kind of rig !

@glovztoshow ...Um.. because the carb wasn't wide open. You can start a car engine without it connected to anything too (neutral?).

You must put out some good block parties for your neighbors to put up with that POS
Batgold, is this an old DC-3 engine?
I am ignorant of how old it may be. Can you tell your viewers if this is an old surplus engine, from a defunct aircraft? And, how much did you pay, for it?
Thanks in advance.

@LOlamVaEd This engine came out of a Tank. It was never in an aircraft. it was something like 70 lbs. heavier than an equivalent aircraft radial.
