well, easy for someone other than me!

If my 1978 Chevy has a 350 cubic inch engine, about what size engine would that be in liter?

okay, I don't know how to find how many cubic inches are in a liter.

Hi Sharon,

I remember a couple of facts. First

2.54 cm = 1 inch and the second is that 1 liter = 1000 cubic centimeters.

If 1 inch is 2.54 centimeters then 1 cubic inch is (2.54)3 = 16.387064 cubic centimeters.

Hence 350 cubic inches is 350 x 16.387064 = 5735.5 cubic centimeters.

Since 1000 cubic centimeters is 1 liter, 5735.5 cubic centimeters is 5.736 liters.
