Cubic Inches = ? 6 Liter
Hi
Looking towards Dec 21st build date for my first Corvette. I have read about the history of and seen many chevy 327,390,427 Cubic inch motors, but when I have asked what the 6 Liter actually equals in Cubic inches people say Oh about 350 360 ,but no exact number. Can anyone fill me in please? Thanks. Great forum.

Or a nice round 50 KW/l if you want to be modern about it.
For comparison purposes, most Ferraris are around 80 KW/l (for normally-aspirated street engines); the 2 l Honda S2000 was right at 90 KW/l.
Racing bikes and Formula 1 cars are do around 200 KW/l, and of course forced-induction engines can do much more - I believe the 1.5 l Honda F1 engine was reported at 500 KW/l in qualifying trim.
