    What's Your Cylinder Count?

    Since it's mighty slow here, thought I'd ask what everyone's total number of internal combustion cylinders they own. It could be from a car, truck, lawnmower, leaf blower or anything. Running or not. I don't expect to have anywhere near the highest number, but here's mine:

    8- 69 Mach 1
    8- spare 69 351w block
    8- 1978 460 motor
    8- 1956 312 E code T-Bird motor
    8- 1985 5.0 motor
    8- mid 80's 5.0 motor
    1- Honda lawnmower motor

    49 total cylinders for me.

    So jump in and play!

    Crap, I must be getting old as I forgot a couple:

    6- 1993 BMW 525
    1- Sthil 031 chain saw

    So now a total of 56, the year I was born. Maybe I should walk around the place and see what I've got.

    Wow, I just might need a conservator. Just remembered a newly acquired 250 6 cyl from a 69 Mustang coupe.

    62 total, till I remember another one

     Hmm... the Porsche. Thanks Barry. I could see forgetting stuff if I had a bunch of stuff, but sheesh. Gary, I keep telling you there are no bad feelings about it. It was a great road trip with a good prize. Nothing ventured, nothing gained brother.

    No plans for the 250ci six. I did do some searching for aluminum heads, turbos and such. The buddy who owns the Mustang wrecking yard has a 67 with a six, 3 speed manual trans and gets 30 mpg. Never know when a donor car will show up.
