The engine type you are looking for, would perhaps be contained within a Stearman.

Actually, both the P&W and the Wright are about the same HP and size, the clue being the R975 designation, both are 975 cubic inches (973 for the Wright) and both about 375 to 440 HP. The Stearman usually has a Continental W-670, seven cylinder of about 250 HP.
