How is the Displacement (cc) of a motor actually figured out, Ive been told bore x stroke, but that always give me a funky number.

Half of the diameter x half the diameter x 3.14 X the stroke.
My 300 has a (stock) stroke length of 65.5 mm and a (stock) bore size or74 mm sooooo....
74 divided by 2 (=37), times 37, times 3.14 (=4298.66), times 65.5 (=281,562.23 mm cubed) Wich would be 281.56223 cm cubed. You have to divide by 10, 3 times, to get the cm cubed.
Hows that for todays math lesson

It was great, but I took it one step farther. :) Check out the next post.

400ex Stock Bore Calculations
Bore 85
Stroke 70
----------------------------
-----Bore ÷ 2
85 ÷ 2 = 42.5
----------------------------
(Bore ÷ 2) X (Bore ÷ 2) -or- (Bore ÷ 2)²
42.5 X 42.5 = 1806.25
----------------------------
-----(Bore ÷ 2)² X 3.14 -or- (Bore ÷ 2) X (Bore ÷ 2) X PI
1806.25 X 3.14 = 5671.625
----------------------------
-----That X Stroke
5671.625 x 70 = 397013.75mm³
----------------------------
-----Divide 397013.75 by 10, 3 times -or- Move the decimal place to the left 3 times
397013.75 ÷ 10 = 39701.375
39701.375 ÷ 10 = 3970.1375
3970.1375 ÷ 10 = 397.1375
400ex = 397cc's
----------------------------
Further more to make it down to the nitty gritty then...
Bore divide by 2
Sqaure (Bore ÷ 2)
Take (Bore ÷ 2)² and Multiply by 3.14 (PI)
Multiply by Stroke
Divide by 10 3 times or simply move decimal to the left 3 decimal places.
Now that is how you find out your quad placement Ladies & Gentalmen!
I just didnt know the formula.

Somebody posted a displacement calculator on here on another post. you just type in your bore and stroke and it gave you the cc's!!!!

Where?
Also its interesting to know how to figure it out by hand.
:huh

:eek: How'd yah find out???:eek:
hey, I just figured out the displacement in Cubic inches for the 400ex: 24.227263ci to be exact. Funny thing is that I can beat my friend who has a chev350 with K&N filter and flowmaster pipes+headers in a drag race. And I stay in front of him for awile before he passes me. It is however 4wd, has 410 gearing(I know the raito isn't 410, something like 1:4.10? I don't know) and it's a 2500hd with a 3 speed transmition. I bet the newer vortec 350's would be close to the 400ex in a drag rece. power to weight makes quite a difference. other factors would probably include chain vs shaft, 1 small quick reving piston vs 8 big slower reving pistons. 24 vs 350. who would ever guess a 24ci would take a big 350.

Thanks. Just trying to make it so other people can maybe understand a little more.
Math was always my strong point, just didnt know the formula. :)

Here, Even made it up in vb, However this is for single cylinders only right now, will post any updates to better versions if anybody wants it.
