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

(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.

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.

OK. It should be 3.78 liters in a gallon, right?

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