I was just wondering if there is a formula to convert CID to Liters or Liters to CID?

I was just wondering if maybe someone would ask me how many cubic inches is ____ L, or how many liters is ____ cubic inches?

see that's what I try to do is remember Liters=cubic inches. for example 5.0L=302, 5.7L=350, 7.4L=454, or 7.5L=460, stuff like that. but like u said my memory doesn't serve me correct sometimes.

Like Ben said if you just ballpark round it off the 60ci = 1 litter will get ya pretty close for ballparking it if thats all you want. The actual number takes a calculator to do the math to get it perfect (and you need to know the REAL size of the engine to begin with LOL )

IIRC it's 61.02 but like I said you have to know the ACTUAL displacment of an engine to get that technically anyway. Take a 302 ford it's actually 301.59 or 4.94312L same thing will all of them but I did find a cool printable chart if anyone wants it
