The formula
1 cubic inch = 16.387064 cc1 liter = 1,000 cc
Worked example
Using the default values shown in the calculator:
| Engine displacement | 5700 |
|---|---|
| Unit | Cubic centimeters (cc) |
- 5,700 cc ÷ 16.387064 = 347.8 cubic inches, or 5.70 liters.
- On a V8 that is 712 cc per cylinder.
Result:
| Cubic centimeters (cc) | 5,700 |
|---|---|
| Cubic inches (CID) | 347.8 |
| Liters | 5.70 |
| Per cylinder of a V8 (cc) | 712 |
| Per cylinder of a 4-cylinder (cc) | 1,425 |
