You need to use the bore & stroke to three decimal points as per the GM spec:

Bore 4.065 inches = 103.25 mm
Stroke 3.622 inches = 92.00 mm

Volume= = ((PI()*(Bore*Bore)/4))*(Stroke)

Cylinder Displacement 47.01 in3 = 770.30 cc
Number of Cylinders 8 8

Engine Displacement 376.1 in3 = 6162.4 cc

I bake my cornbread in a round cast iron skillet, just like my mom did and her mom did. My 81 year old aunt bakes her cornbread in a round cast iron skillet, also.

Even Golden Corral bakes heir cornbread in a round skillet.

Pi x dia = circumference of the cylinder. Inches in this case. Pie is good.

Perhaps, when it comes to measurements. But the rest of the world is pretty much multi-lingual. Most Americans are not.
