* CID (Cubic Inch Displacement): This refers to the total volume of the cylinders in an engine. It's a measure of *volume*.
* Liters: This is a unit of *capacity* or *volume*, but it's not directly interchangeable with CID.
To convert CID to liters, you need a conversion factor:
1 cubic inch is approximately equal to 0.0163871 liters.
Therefore, to convert 283 CID to liters:
283 CID * 0.0163871 liters/CID ≈ 4.64 liters
So, a 283 CID engine is approximately 4.64 liters in volume.
