How many cubic inches is a 5.4 liter V8 Triton motor?

There's no way to calculate the exact cubic inches of a 5.4 liter V8 Triton engine just from the displacement. The 5.4 liters refers to the total swept volume of all eight cylinders. The actual physical volume of the engine block itself will be significantly larger due to the space taken up by the block material, cylinder heads, oil passages, etc.

To get the cubic inches, you'd need to either:

* Find the factory specifications: The manufacturer's specifications might list the engine's displacement in cubic inches.

* Use a more complex calculation: This would require detailed 3D modeling of the engine block and its internal components, which is not feasible without specialized engineering data.

While a simple conversion of liters to cubic inches (1 liter ≈ 61.02 cubic inches) might seem appropriate, it's inaccurate for the physical size of the engine. The 5.4 liter figure only describes the combined volume displaced by the pistons.
