Re: Engine Size and Cubic inch
It is only the sum of the volumes of the cylinders within the block. All the rest just contributes to strength, cooling, etc.
1 liter (L) = ~61 cubic inches (cu in)
For a 427 CID (Cubic Inch Displacement) V8 engine, or 7.0 L, each piston would displace 427/8 = 53.38 cu in, or 7.0/8 = 0.875 L
