Question: How big does this become?

[Dave22443]

Take a 440, punch it out .060 over, and how many cubes does it have now?  (Assuming everything else being equal)

I'll take a guess and say 452cid.

My guess is 452.022

[Dave22443]

Wow, thats a pretty tight "guess".

Thanks guys!

My guess is 452.022

WRONG!!!!!!!!!! actually it's 452 .0228

[Dave22443]

Is there a formula for that?  And what does that translate to in liters?

Is there a formula for that?  And what does that translate to in liters?

cubic inches.......... bore X bore X .7854 X stroke X number of cylinders       
cubic centimeters........ cubic inches X 16.387         (1000 c.c=  1 liter)

[Dave22443]

452.0228 x 16.387 = 7407.2976236 / 1000 = 7.4072976236

I.e. 7.4L


Nice     Maybe I'll get an emblem made

Why did we switch to liters?  We still buy gas in gallons and drive in MPH.  I think it's a French conspiracy.

[Dave22443]

Liters come from the ricer-import crowd.  Its all they understand.  If you tell them that you've got 452 cubic inches they look at you with that deer in the headlight look.  Then they try to counter by saying, "Well, thats nuthin.  I've got 1.7 Liters!"  Or maybe some of the bigger V-6 crowds might claim 3 or 4 liters.  But then you look back at them knowingly and nod.  "Yeah.  But I've got 7.4"   

That usually shuts them up.  But even then you've got some that will argue crazy power while still being good on gas.  These are "Girly Men" and they should be avoided.  They do not understand true power and never will.

Like someone on this board once said, "If you kneck don't hurt, then its not a muscle car!"
