How many ci's are in 1 Liter when discussing motors?

[Shockwave]

As, if I have a 5.0 I have a 302. Whats a 5.4? Or a 5.7? A 6.0? Etc etc.
Is there a simple formula? I assume its around 60-61 ci's per liter, as 302/5 (ci/L0 = 60. But the 305 was also 5 liter wasnt it?
Anyways, lookin for help. Thanks

hmm. 14.72cc in 1ci (?)

1000cc in 1L

hmm. 68ci per L or something? or did i fux0r my math




doh. according to some google thing its 61.023758990325284. heheh

oh yeah, just because they call a 302 and a 305 a 5.0, doesnt meant its dead on. 5.041 or whatever it really is doesnt have the same ring.

1 ci= 16.387064 cc (to 6 significant figures.......rounded, 16.39 cc)

But, you takeing the car manufacturer's designation of something like a 5.0L V8 and trying to work backward to determine CI is sometimes rather difficult because of the liberal rounding the manufacturers use to come up with designations like 5.0L.

Ford's 302ci 5.0L Mustang, for instance, actually measures 4,942cc, but a 4.9L sounds terrible....so add a few cc and you get 5.0L.

Car and Driver always used to list the Mustang's displacement at 4.9 L on the spec page. I've always liked Car and Driver because they don't hesitate to tell the truth.

Ford also had a 4.9L 300ci inline 6cyl. To avoid any confusion they called the V8 5.0L.

Yes, because 58 cc would add a whole one horsepower. At that point, rounding doesn't matter at all.

It really depends on how many, and which types of, stickers you have on your car.

Any car enthusiast should be able to remember 5.7L == 350 cu. in. and work from there.

350V8 > *

To go from liters to cui multiply by 61 (5.7*61=347.7 or 350)
To go from cui to liters divide by 61 (350/61 = 5.737, or 5.7)

1 liter = 61.2 cu.in. Many 1.0L motorcycles produce>150HP @ high RPMs..
