I believe this ‘engine’ is a P&W mock-up. It has 8 rows of cylinders for a total of 56!
Indeed it is a mock up, a prize for you for observation!

OK, I'll com clean, this is a real 4360 Wasp Major "Corn Cob" engine - 4 rows of seven cylinders = 28 cylinders:



4,362.5 cu in (71.5 L), 4,300 hp (3,200 kW) the most powerful and largest radial engine development by Pratt & Whitney.
