The Wirlwind's engines were Rolls-Royce Peregrines. I guess finding those will be a huge problem, if not an improbability. Even RR lost interest in developing the engine during the war and this was one of the main reasons that the Wirlwind didn't reach it's true potential.

It's a great looking aircraft! I will definitively be watching out for it if you can get it built!
