Hmm, argh. I had to memorize this for Power Mech last year... I think it's:

Bore Dia^2 * stroke * # of cylinders * .7854

Better get someone to confirm that though.

.25*Pi*bore*bore*stroke*#cylinders

or

.7854*bore*bore*stroke*#cylinders

The .7854 is just Pi*.25

Engine: 355 (fastburn heads, LT4 HOT cam)

Transmission: 700R4

Axle/Gears: 9-bolt, 3.27

Or, the volume of one cylinder is found with "pi 'r' squared" multiplied by the stroke. For a 350 that is (2^2 * 3.1419)*3.48 Then multiply by the number of cylinders.

therefore......2*2*3.1419*3.48*8
