Really? I always though 350 refered to the physical size of an engine block and that the litre rating was just hte volume of air that is avaialble i nteh combustion chambers.
not a car guy so I always assuemd this.

350 == 350 cubic inches
5.7 == 5.7 liters

350cc is smaller than the head of my Big Bertha driver. I think you mean 3500cc (i.e., 3.5L).
EDIT: Unless your measuring in cubic inches.![]()

No. The head CC has nothing to do with the cubic inches of the engine.Originally posted by: spidey07
obligatory "no replacement for displacement"
Do the displacement number include the volume in the head as well? As in entire compustion chamber?

Cubic inches isn't a measurement of the block itself. It is the diameter of the cylinders and the stroke of the crank.Originally posted by: IHateMyJob2004
Used to think the engine block was 350 cubic inches. Easy enough to measure via water displacement or weight. See google link above your explanaation![]()

- The 455's was rated at 350bhp and a stump pulling 510lb-ft of torque. This was the highest torque rating of any production engine besides Cadillac's 472 and 500 cid V-8s, and no engine achieved it at a lower rpm (2800rpm).
0-60 in 6.5 sec, 1/4 mile in 13.8 sec @ 101 mph.
