title say's it all...just curious as to the volume in liters of a 388. and while im thinking about it... when someone states the liter volume of an engine...does that pertain to just one cylinder, or the the entire engine? like 5.7L is a 350, everyone know's that...but is each cylinder 5.7 liters itself, or is the colmunitive amout of all 8 cylinders equal to 5.7 liters?
thanks,

It's the whole engine displacement. I've never heard of anybody just stating per cylinder volume. Math wise, 350 cubic inches equals 5.7 liters.


388CIN = 6.3 Liter

thanks alot

 

 

The liter displacement is the reflection of all the cylinder volume. It's actually figured out first to be a cubic centimeter displacement and then you move the decimal place over 3 places. But to figure it out properly you need to multiply the bore and stroke by 2.54 individually; that converts imperial to metric then figure out displacement as you would normally.

 

1 liter equals about 61.02 cubic inches, it will convert from one to the other. its approximate.
