How do you compare 'liters' with regular engine sizes?

Isn't a 5.0 Liter engine and a 302 the same size? Isn't a 5.3 Liter the same size as a 350? Does anyone know how to compare liters to engine sizes?

the 5.0Chevy engine is a 305, and the 5.0 Ford engine is a 302. Just the way it is, http://www.sciencemadesimple.net/volume.php
Heres a website that does conversions

A Chevy 5.0 is a 305, while a ford is a 302.

I have a universal chart I could e-mail you if you want

cubic centimeter:
(cc) Metric measurement of engine displacement. 1000 cc = 1 liter (litre) which is about 61 cubic inches (61.02374409). Thus a 428 cubic inch engine is 7 liters (428/61) and a 2 liter engine is 122 cubic inches (2 x 61).

my little bible sayes that a 381 is a 6.2L, 389 is a 6.4L
So you could either say 6.2L, or 6.3L without really lieing
