Thanks guys for the cubic inch and liter info.  Is 1 hp per ci acceptable for a street car or is that pushing it?   later, lojac ----- Original Message ----- From: 396guy To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2002 7:53 AM Subject: RE: [Chevelle-List] Cubic Inches I think it's bore x bore x stroke x #cyl x .7854 (instead of .7894)?  That's what I've always used.  A 396 +.060 is 408.3 cubes - I have the same engine.   BTW, if you take cid times 0.01639, you get your engine size in liters.   Dale -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Herbert Lumpp Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2002 4:54 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] Cubic Inches Bore x bore x stroke x # of cylinders x .7894 = CID   Don't ask me why I know that, but it's one of those things I learned as a kid and never forgot. cYa-   Herb Lumpp 1966 El Camino ACES #3509 http://web.tampabay.rr.com/herbsworld/index.htm     ----- Original Message ----- From: Lojac To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2002 1:28 AM Subject: [Chevelle-List] Cubic Inches How do you calculate the cubic inches of an engine?  For example, if I wanted to bore my 396 a total of .060 over, what would the cubic inches be?  Please explain how you came to that number too....please.   Thanks, Lojac
