Displacement = ?????
My cousin has a '98 Trans Am for which he is building a new motor. He claims to be getting a 6.0L block with 4.000 inch bores.:eek: What would this put the displacement up to??? Thanks for any help! :yesnod: :seeya

Re: Displacement = ????? (LT1pwrd'94)
The cross sectional area of a circle is PI * R^2. The volume of anything is it's area in one direction, times it's height in another, so the volume of a cylinder is PI * R^2 * H. R = radius = diameter / 2 = bore / 2. H = height = stroke.
Then you multiply by number of cylinders, and get displacement = PI * (bore/2)^2 * stroke * 8.
PI is 3.14159...
Stock bore is 3.9 and stock stroke is 3.62 (I think).

link I used
6.0 bore is 4.00 ( I should know :D :D )
Ls1 stroke is 3.62
So try 4.030 (.030 overbore) and 3.72 ground crank :D :D

What would that .030 overbore and 3.72 ground crank take the displacement to on that 6.0L block???
Intel, what setup do you have on your C5??? He(cousin) is very interested in any other ideas. :cheers:
Thanks For the Help!!:yesnod: :seeya

Re: Displacement = ????? (intel55)
What would the displacement be with the 6.0L block(with and without being bored .030) with a 3.72 ground crank??? Thank you Guys for the help! :yesnod: :cheers:
BTW, Intel, sounds like you will have yourself a monster!! :smash: :seeya

374 cid :D without bore
380 with .030
BORE IT!!! :yesnod:
yes the engine is :reddevil :reddevil :reddevil
oh yeah and for kicks a 6.0 block and LS1 stock crank is:
std bore 364
