Honey!! The car won't fit in the garage!

Aviation lover Shawn Wilson bought the B-29 engine on eBay and is restoring it in his garage

Aviation enthusiast and longtime tinkerer Shawn Wilson of London, Ont., couldn't resist the rusted-out B-29 Superfortress engine when he spotted it on eBay earlier this year.

Wilson was quick to drop $2,000 US for the Second World War-era engine with the sole purpose of restoring it and displaying it in his garage in all its newfound shiny glory, as an homage to a piece of aviation history.

I believe at least most airworthy Russian WW2 airplanes have western engines: MiG-3, Il-2, various Yaks - whether operated in Russia or elsewhere. Either Allisons, or radials of suitable size.

And there's this former Russian trainer with some mods:

This one has been lost. Pilot Sherman Smoot was taking Czech Mate on a test flight. There was a fatal crash after take off. The investigation will figure out what happened.
