To get the TRUE cid, you need to use the bore and stroke measurements. The formula stated above is accurate for say a 5.300000 liter engine but what if ours are 5.34 or 5.28? Remember, a 5.0 Mustang is a 302 but a 5.0 Chevy is a 305. I just wish I remember the actual formula for the bore and stroke method.

I think that the manufacturers round up or down a bit in reference to advertised liters...like mentioned above, I've heard both 302's and 305's referred to as 5.0's...I think that GM also has an older gen 6.0 that is actually a 366. I gotta admit, I kinda liked it when I thought my 5.3 was a 327...those numbers look kinda nostalgic on a cowl hood 
When I eventually go 6.0, not sure if I'll be searching for any "364" emblems. (gotta get a cowl hood first anyway 
)
