4.7L=cubic what?
 

I was wondering what the 4.7l engine equels to in cubic inches? Google wasn't much help [X(]

I know the 5.2l=318 and 5.9l=360.

RE: 4.7L=cubic what?
 

ok, I googled little better and found a conversion site and it said it 4.7L was 287 cubic inches. This sound about right?

RE: 4.7L=cubic what?
 

sounds about right. i divided 360 by 5.9 and took the answer of 61.01 and multiplied it by 4.7 and got 286.77 which rounds to 287...so ya.

RE: 4.7L=cubic what?
 

4.7 litres equals approx 286.81 or you can say 287 cubic inches

RE: 4.7L=cubic what?
 

From the Dodge Durango specifications Powertrain section:
4.7L V8 SOHC:
Engine - Displacement - Cubic Inches: 287.0
Engine - Displacement - Cubic Centimeters: 4701
Engine - Displacement - Bore [in]: 3.66
Engine - Valvetrain - Number of Valves: 16
Engine - Displacement - Stroke [in]: 3.40
Engine - Compression Ratio ( :1): 9.3

1 inch = 2.54 centimeters, or close enough

So, 1 cubic inch = 16.387 cubic centimeters

and, 4700 cubic centimeters (4.7 liters) = 286.813 cubic inches, in the old math.

So, as the gentleman in the movie about Pearl Harbor says, There's your confirmation:-)

RE: 4.7L=cubic what?
 

here is a way to roughly convert liter's into cubic inches.. I took 350 cubic inches and divided that by 5.7 cause a 5.7 is 350 cubic inch and i got 61.4

350/5.7=61.4 so then you can take 61.4 and mutliply that by any number (the liter's) and figure out how much cubic inches it is for example..........the 572 chevy bigblock.......572/61.4=9.3 liters

the equation also works in opposite order ^^^^^^^^^^

RE: 4.7L=cubic what?
 

The problem with that equation is that a 345 cubic inch engine is also a 5.7L as is a 346 cubic. The liter system is less precise than the cubic system was so it is difficult to determine it. But anyways the 4.7L is a 287 cubic inch engine.

RE: 4.7L=cubic what?
 

Yeah, the Liter was always less accurate, but just a quickie lil conversion is just to divide c/i by 61, or multiply L by 61, and then using some basic background info of who made what size engine when, you can usually get it right. That's what I've always done.

The 2005 5.7 Hemi Durango is a 345 (Thats what I have )
