How it is calculated
- Cubic inches to litres: multiply by 0.016387064
- Litres to cubic inches: divide by 0.016387064 (about 61.0237)
- It follows from 1 inch = 2.54 cm, cubed, then 1,000 cm³ = 1 litre
To work from the engine’s bore and stroke, use the engine displacement calculator.
Worked example
- 100 in³ × 0.016387064 = 1.6387 L
- 2 L ÷ 0.016387064 = 122.0475 in³
Why your number may differ
Engine sizes are rounded by makers, so a nominal 350 in³ can be a little different in practice.
