I have some 1/72 white metal engines for the Heller DC-6B. Not sure if they're the "wright" ones or not..
(Gawd I crack me up..)

Just looked 'em up...they're P&W R-2800 engines. They come in separate front and rear rows, though - 9 cyl each.

The Wright R1820 from Aeroclub is E021 for the F series and E025 for the G series. Not in production anymore, though. Found a couple below..
