378 cu. in.

(Note: it could be that GM rounded up the size to 6.2L. but if it is spot on, 6.2 liters, the conversion factor is: 1 liters = 61.0237441 cubic inches. or, 6.2L X 61.0237441 cubic inches = 378 cu. in. )

No, 378 is correct. From the 2008 order book:

NEW! Engine, 6.2L V8 SFI (430 hp [320.6
kW] @ 5900 rpm, 424 lb-ft of torque [572.4
N-m] @ 4600 rpm)
6.2 L is 378 cu. in.

Do the math, don't believe the advertizing spin doctors.

Volume of a cylinder times the number of cylinders;

LS1 = 346 cu in
LS2 = 364 cu in
LS3 = 376 cu in.
