1 cubic inch = 0.0163871 liter

Easier for me to remember is that there are 61 cubic inches per litre. It's not exact but it's close enough.

454ci= 7.44 litre (some companies round everything off so it may be shown as a 7.5 litre)

 

1 liter= 61.02374 cu in
3 liters= 183.07122 cu in

 

It's all proportional, so if you know one data point, you can easily calculate all others:

454 / 427 * 7 = 7.442

or to calculate the cubic inches in a Daytona (4.4l):

4.4 / 7 * 427 = 268 cu in.

Easy, no?

Well if you want to get exact about it. That extra .07122 must be why my 308 feels so fast!!

 

actually, a 308 is 2.927 L, or 179 cu in. But a 298 would just sound wrong somehow....
