    80 cylinders and 2721 cubic inches.

    Maybe a touch off on the displacement. I don't recommend alcohol, counting engines, cylinders and metric conversion at the same time.

    A better question is, "Is this the dumbest post ever?"
    Are you gonna count lock cylinders and wheel cylinders too?

    Don't know; never counted 'em. I do think that when you start with a 12 cylinder firetruck (1948 Seagrave with the pierce Arrow V-12) and a 4 cylinder snowmobile (Yamaha Vmax-4) and a 6 cylinder motor cycle (Honda CBX), you have a leg up on most people.:D

    I am lacking in cylinders here.. 0nly 34... 30 if I don't count the ones with water in them.

    EDIT: forgot the compressor... 35.

    Lets see,

    32 in Y-blocks if you don't count a couple of blown up ones that would be 48 if you do.
    16 in 460 Fords
    24 in 351 Fords
    16 in 390 Fords
    16 in 360 Fords
    56 in 302 Fords
    16 in 4.6 Fords
    6 in a 300 Ford
    8 in a 6.9 Ford diesel
    24 in 250 Fords
    24 in 455 Buicks
    16 in 350 Buicks
    I give up at this point I could go on counting for quite a while yet I didn't count the V6 or 4 cylinders Fords yet or the Chevys, Mopars, tractors, chainsaws and on and on.

    1- 3 cylinder
    7- 4 cylinder
    1- 6 cyl
    18- 8 cyl

    .
    16 * V8 = 128
    3 sbf
    2 bbf
    1 Y-block
    10 Flatheads
    ---------------



    2 * 6 = 12
    (Flat 6 Studeabaker)
    ---------------



    1 * 4 = 4
    Banger


    That makes 144 not including air compressors.
