Examples include the 1923–1930 Cadillac Series 353 (powered by a 353 Cubic inch/5.8-litre engine), and the 1963–1968 BMW 1800 (a 1.8-litre engine) and Lexus LS 400 with a 3,968 cc engine. This was especially common in US muscle cars , like the Ford Mustang Boss 302 and 429, and later GT 5.0L, The Plymouth Roadrunner 383, and the Chevrolet ...
Engine displacement is calculated based on bore, stroke length and the number of cylinders: [1] displacement = π ( 1 / 2 × bore ) 2 × stroke × n cylinders. The stroke ratio, determined by dividing the bore by the stroke, traditionally indicated whether an engine was designed for power at high engine speeds or torque at lower engine ...
The cubic inch (symbol in 3) is a unit of volume in the Imperial units and United States customary units systems. It is the volume of a cube with each of its three dimensions (length, width, and height) being one inch long which is equivalent to 1/231 of a US gallon.
For vehicles where the above formula cannot be applied (e.g. electric vehicles), the tax horsepower is derived from the effective engine power (which is defined by law as the maximum power that the engine can provide after being used at full power from 30 minutes, which is normally lower than the rated engine power).
For piston engines, an engine's capacity is the engine displacement, in other words the volume swept by all the pistons of an engine in a single movement. It is generally measured in litres (l) or cubic inches (c.i.d., cu in, or in 3) for larger engines, and cubic centimetres (abbreviated cc) for smaller engines. All else being equal, engines ...
Straight-six engines are typically produced in displacements ranging from 2 to 4 L (122 to 244 cu in), [4]: p209 however engines ranging in size from the 0.7 L (43 cu in) Benelli 750 Sei motorcycle engine [5] to the 10,972.2 L (669,565 cu in) Wärtsilä-Sulzer RTA96-C two-stroke marine diesel engine. Due to its well-balanced configuration, the ...
The 361-cubic-inch (5.9 L) 360 was released in 1950, replacing the physically larger 361 "Group 3" engine. The 360 and 361 shared the exact same 4 + 1 ⁄ 8 inches (100 mm) bore and 4 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches (110 mm) stroke, but the 360 used the mid-size "Group 2" block.
The Ford MEL is a big-block 90° V8 engine family produced in various configurations by the Ford Motor Company between 1958 and 1967 in displacements from 383–462 cubic inches (6.3–7.6 L), and used in Ford, Edsel, Mercury, and Lincoln vehicles.
