Displacement refers to the total volume of air or fuel-air mixture that an engine can draw in during one complete cycle. It is usually measured in cubic inches (cu in) or liters (L).
Here's how to figure out the liters of a 454 cu in engine:
1. Convert cubic inches to cubic centimeters (cc): 1 cubic inch = 16.3871 cubic centimeters
* 454 cu in * 16.3871 cc/cu in = 7439.08 cc
2. Convert cubic centimeters to liters: 1 liter = 1000 cc
* 7439.08 cc / 1000 cc/L = 7.44 liters
Therefore, a 454 Chevrolet engine has a displacement of approximately 7.44 liters.
