    Cylinder Index

    Ok Guys... Over on my Chevelle Club we've got a thread called "Cylinder Index".

    We need you to count all of the internal combustion cylinders you have! (Air Compressors do not qualify!)

    Cars, Trucks, Lawn Mowers, SnowBlowers, WeedWhackers, Boats, Sleds... 2-stroke, 4-stroke, Gas or Diesel

    If you're counting ALL the cylinders of all my IC powered equipment it comes to 52 cylinders total. And a lot of oil changes go along with that many engines to maintain.

    Road going
    4 trucks, van, 2 cars, 1 suv = 46
    Farm
    4 tractors, 1 combine = 30
    Semi, tandem, backhoe, excavator = 22
    Toys
    Mower, 4 wheeler = 3
    2 waverunners, 1 jetski = 6
    MK4 =8
    Misc
    Pumps, chainsaws, generators, etc = ~20

    MkIV complete kit #9259, Coyote, TKO600, IRS, Wilwoods x 4, many parts from Breeze, Forte, Russ's Garage and North Racecars
    17" Bullit style wheels, custom Kirkey seats, mid shift conversion, drop trunk, KRC power steering, Forte Hyd. clutch and slave, manual brakes
    overall build plan: build it to drive, not polish and black it out wherever possible, paint will be some shade of dark cherry

    I've got a relatively high displacement for a relatively low number of cylinders, particularly if we count F.I.

    Truck - 8
    Race car - 4
    Wife's DD - 6
    Pressure washer - 1

    Roadster will add 8 once the gen3 coyote is released

    When I first heard of the cylinder index, the goal was to ensure that it was higher than your age!

    CI = 73, Age = 55

    That's not bad for a guy who tends to keep cars for up to 10 years and spent 10+ years without a car while living in Asia.
