Had an Argument

I found a nifty online Volume Converter and it shows a 6.0L to be 366.1422 cu.

 

Yes, but that's a specific number for 6.0l. Those calculators are to get exact numbers. That's not only how motor companies classify their motors. Just like how both the LS1(345.69ci) and LT1(350ci) are 5.7l is how 364 is coined as a 6.0l. It's a nice round number for classification.

:chevy: When I went to get an oil filter it said the 6.0 was a 366ci.

 

 

most catalogue's are incorrect. i see the 5.3L listed alot as a 327 also, it's actually a 325. the autobook which is a computer program that you build a vehicle to order one with from the gm system has the 6.0L listed as a 394... :banghead::banghead::banghead:

Okay, here's the deal...as Zippy says don't try to convert liters to Cubic Inches if you want an accurate displacement number...as Arnold would probably say...Liters are (no offense ladies) "girlie" Real men compare their Cubic Inches. Bore squared X .7854 X Stroke X No. of Cylinders = Cubic Inches. Example LQ9 = 4.00" Bore and 3.622" stroke = 4.00 X 4.00 X .7854 X 3.62 X 8 = 364.122 Cubic Inches. :cheers:
