um, if you knew the bore and stroke of the engine in inches, then I suppose you could do a little math and get it. just find the surface area of the piston and multiply it by the height that the piston travels...by all means, correct me if I'm wrong

Nope your right.. simple geometry

Bore X Bore X Stroke X 0.7854 X #of cylinders = Total displacement
So a 6.0L would be 4.00 X 4.00 X 3.62 = 57.92 CI X 0.7854 =
45.490368 X 8 cyls = 363.922944 CI

There is no way to start with a litre value and be exact because it is already rounded off. A 6.0L is actualy a 5.963605283328L, times that by 61.02 and it does come very close 363.89CI vs 363.92 CI.
