Assuming QuickSilver05 supplied the correct engine bore and stroke dimensions, here is how the engine size in liters is calculated:
cubic millimeters = bore radius **squared x pi x stroke x 8
cubic millimeters = 99.5/2 **squared x 3.14 x 90.9
cubic millimeters = 5654444.075
1 liter = 1000000 cubic millimeters therefore
5654444.075 / 1000000 = 5.65 liters which is approximately 5.7 liters
or in cubic inches:
cubic inches = 3.92/2 **squared x 3.14 x 3.58 x 8
cubic inches = 345.6 which is approximately 346 cubic inches
cubic millimeters = bore radius **squared x pi x stroke x 8
cubic millimeters = 99.5/2 **squared x 3.14 x 90.9
cubic millimeters = 5654444.075
1 liter = 1000000 cubic millimeters therefore
5654444.075 / 1000000 = 5.65 liters which is approximately 5.7 liters
or in cubic inches:
cubic inches = 3.92/2 **squared x 3.14 x 3.58 x 8
cubic inches = 345.6 which is approximately 346 cubic inches

Seeing this argument reminds me of why manufactures used to go by cubic inches back in the day. I guess they gave into the europeans and started going by liters ("litres") I still go by cubic inches (I have a 318) because they are more accurate. Also, I didn't fall for all the hype of the hemi.

It's still a good engine though, as I wouldn't mind owning one. The things that keep me from owning one is the electronic throttle control, coil on plug distributorless ign. etc. I still favor "old" technology because it's been proven to work reliably and last 200K+ miles of "abuse".

conversion factor- Liters(5.7) x 61.024 = CU=347.8368
conversion factor- Liters(5.7) x 61.024 = CU=347.8368
You can not just use the conversion factor and assume that you are correct, the only true way to get the right answer is to find the volume using the bore and stroke measurements of the given engine.
