I'll take a stab at this but be aware that I'm not certain.
The C5's had LS1 and LS6 engines at 5.7 liters for the standard Corvette and the Z06. The C6's have the LS2 and LS7 engines at 6.0 and 7.0 liters for the standard couple and Z06.
The conversion ratio is one cubic inch= 61.0234 liters. However, I doubt that the engines are exactly 5.7, 6.0, and 7.0 liters. If so, the 5.7 liter would be 347.8 liters (called 350 cu in), 6.0 liter would be 366.1 cu in, and the 7.0 liter 427.2 cu in.
I've read however, that the Z06 is more like 426 cu in than 427 cu in but for marketing purposes they wanted to call it a 427 for historical reasons.
I imagine that someone knows the exact displacement in buth liters and cu. in. but maybe this will come close for now.
