New Engine Displacement Unit

Just thought of this today when I saw something about quarts vs liters.

The beloved 4.9 L I6 could have been listed as a 5.2 (Quart) motor.

we had to switch from cubic inch engines to metric engines because all them foreigners could not figure out how to put a cubic engine into a round hole.

This reminds me how the lawnmower engines quit having horsepower numbers. I don't even know what they have on them now. I'm so late to the party I have yet to have an OHV Briggs&Stratton.
I still think Brian Johnson is the "new" singer for AC/DC.
