Hi

Here's the formula for Cubic Inch Displacement:

Bore (squared) X Stroke X 0.7854 X Number of Cylinders = Cubic Inch Displacement.

I have it written down on a reminder card in my calculator, just to "run the numbers" when I get curious whether a larger engine was possible from a given maker.

Listen to Jack carefully on Packard V-8 engines, he has the experience and knowledge we all thought was lost when the last generation of Packard Engine Engineers passed on.

Many interesting larger Packard engine are possible, it just comes down to how many bucks you can spend to get what you want.
