Need a bigger carburetor?

[1925 Touring]

I took this picture at work about a year ago. It's a little humerous to compare parts from my T to other things sometimes. For some reason I took my carb to work one day to mess with after hours. On the table was a different carburetor, a carburetor for a T-28, or more specifically an R-1820-86b.
I didn't take the cover off, not at a rebuild price of $11,000. Still think T's are expensive?
Think it will bolt onto the T?

I wonder what sort of carburetors Ford used on the Tri-motor?

Sorry to hijack the thread somewhat, but the engines used in the Ford developed 420 HP - must have been bigger carbs than a Model T's but less than a T-28. That said, there are a few Model A parts that showed up in the trimotor. Interestingly, a place that specializes in rebuilding them is here in Michigan. They have the dies for the corrugated skin and other specialty tools to do the job.

Many years ago there was a shop in town that specializes in Carburetors. On their counter was a carb off a B17. That thing was huge! Dan

A machine shop here once had a big double row radial crankshaft on the bench. Some local oil guys had a number of WW2 planes and they flew them a lot.

Likely the same type as the ones we play with. The B 17s used R1820s. The T 28s do as well, although with a few changes.
