Default 6.2 liter = what displacement?

Just wondering what the 6.2 liter equates to, i.e 5.7 liter is a 350 etc.

378. But it's not quite 6.2 L. The cu. in. is closer to 376.

(6.2*350)/5.7= about 380 ci

As mentioned the LS3 is more like 6.15 liters, but man...you had every thing in your orig post to create a ratio and answer your own question.

Default Math

3.78 gallons in a liter

6.2 divided by 3.78 = 1.64 gallons

231 cu. inches in a gallon

1.64 x 231 = 378.88 cubic inches!!

Are you sure that's right? I thought a liter was about the same as a quart and there are four quarts in a gallon.

Default Yes

4 quarts to a gallon
3.78 liters to a gallon

Doesn't get much closer than that!

There are many sites that give you the answer automatically but I find the math process fun. To each his own. Thanks, Grant.
