Here's why:
* "302" refers to the cubic inch displacement of the engine. This means the total volume of all cylinders combined, measured in cubic inches.
* Liters are a different unit of volume.
To convert cubic inches to liters, you need to know the exact cubic inch displacement of the 302 engine and use a conversion factor.
Here's the calculation you would use:
1. Find the exact cubic inch displacement of the 302 engine. This might be slightly different depending on the model and year.
2. Divide the cubic inch displacement by 61.0237. This is the conversion factor for cubic inches to liters.
Example:
Let's say a specific 302 engine has a displacement of 302 cubic inches. Here's how to convert it to liters:
* 302 cubic inches / 61.0237 = 4.95 liters
So, a 302 engine with a displacement of 302 cubic inches is approximately 4.95 liters.
Important Note: Always make sure you have the accurate cubic inch displacement for the specific 302 engine you're interested in.
