Wow we drive a 376 V8. Somehow it doesn't have the same ring to it as a 327, 350 or 427 does.
Beach Boys could make a song from this engine -"I my kicks from my 376........."

Mopar had 318, 340, 383, 426 (now there's a magical number!) and 440s. Ford had the 260, 289, 302, and 427 and 428 big blocks.
I wouldn't be surprised if the 350 and 400 versions aren't rounded numbers. If Detroit still advertised in CI, you can bet they'd call the LT1 a 375, not a 376.

327 has a ring to it only because of it's history. In and of itself it's as odd a number as 376. The small block debuted as a 265, then became a 283, the 327, a 302, a 307, a 350 and even a 400. Not all of those are magical numbers

Also Pontiacs had a 301, 326 in the LeMans 389 in the GTOs and Fords had a 429 in the LTD I think.

The calculations do not come out because cubic inches is only piston displacement where as Liters include cyl head volume in their measurement for a total volume! If my memory is any good! The 6.5 GTO came out to over 396 instead of 389 using the 61. + figure

The volume of a cylinder is πr2 x h
So, π(10.325 cm/2)2 x 9.2 cm = 770.29633 cc
770.29633 cc x 8 cylinders = 6162.37064 cc (rounded, 6.2 liters)
1 cc = 0.0610237441 cu in
6162.37064 cc x 0.0610237441 = 376.051 cu in

The LT1 cylinders are 103.25 mm (4.060 in) bore and 92 mm (3.62 in) stroke, or 10.325 cm x 9.2 cm.
The volume of a cylinder is πr2 x h
So, π(10.325 cm/2)2 x 9.2 cm = 770.2963 cc
770.2963 cc x 8 cylinders = 6162.3706 cc (rounded, 6.2 liters)
1 cc = 0.0610237441 cu in
6162.3706 cc x 0.0610237441 = 376.0509 cu in

Could you be a little more specific?
