Common displacement conversions

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

Where displacement conversions are used

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.

What your engine displacement result means

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.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert cubic inches to liters?

Multiply cubic inches by 0.016387064. For example, 350 cubic inches is about 5.74 liters.

How do I convert liters to cubic inches?

Multiply liters by 61.023744. For example, 5.7 liters is about 347.84 cubic inches.

How many cc are in one liter?

There are 1000 cubic centimeters, or 1000 cc, in one liter.

How is engine displacement calculated from bore and stroke?

Use π ÷ 4 × bore² × stroke × number of cylinders. The result depends on whether bore and stroke are entered in inches or millimeters.

Does bigger displacement always mean more horsepower?

No. Larger displacement can help, but horsepower also depends on airflow, RPM, compression, tuning, boost, and engine design.
