This is a piss and moan so I believe it's in the correct thread- Why are many or most people here using liters to describe engines? That's foreign shit. Why the hell does a person talk about a 4.6 liter and a 350 in the same sentence?
60.6 cubic inches= 1000cc = 1 liter. A 4.6 is a hair over 278cid which rounds off to 279cid.
A 5.0 is NOT exactly 305 cid, it's 303.5cid. 5.025 is 305cid. A 302 is called a 5.0 liter yet it is 4.976 liter. People call the 307 5 liter and it's actually 5.1. A 350 is actually 5.775 liter since 5.7 exactly is 346cid. We'd have to round up and call it a 5.8 anyhow.
Best way to translate it is to figure a liter is basically 61 cubic inches. I don't give a damn about a 2.8 anything- it's 171cid.
Here's a site that can help in translation-

Let's leave the bogus liter crap to the Renault forum!
