Convert engine displacement between cubic inches, liters, cubic centimeters, cc, milliliters, and cubic feet. You can also calculate engine displacement from bore, stroke, and number of cylinders.
Cubic inches to liters:
liters = cubic inches × 0.016387064
Liters to cubic inches:
cubic inches = liters × 61.023744
Liters to cc:
cc = liters × 1000
Bore and stroke:
displacement = π ÷ 4 × bore² × stroke × cylinders
Engine displacement conversions are useful for car engines, truck engines, motorcycles, marine engines, small engines, engine swaps, classic cars, performance builds, spec sheets, and comparing cubic inches with liters or cc.
Use this converter when comparing engine sizes across different measurement systems.
Your result shows the entered engine displacement converted into the selected unit. The converter also displays cubic inches, liters, cubic centimeters, milliliters, cubic feet, and optional displacement from bore, stroke, and cylinder count.
Engine displacement describes swept volume, not power by itself. Horsepower and torque also depend on airflow, compression, camshaft design, boost, fuel system, tuning, RPM range, and engine efficiency.
Multiply cubic inches by 0.016387064. For example, 350 cubic inches is about 5.74 liters.
Multiply liters by 61.023744. For example, 5.7 liters is about 347.84 cubic inches.
There are 1000 cubic centimeters, or 1000 cc, in one liter.
Use π ÷ 4 × bore² × stroke × number of cylinders. The result depends on whether bore and stroke are entered in inches or millimeters.
No. Larger displacement can help, but horsepower also depends on airflow, RPM, compression, tuning, boost, and engine design.
