115/33 in. ? (5740.965029...cc)
Inconsistencies are printed everywhere.
I've seen:

I've seen:
- 3.48 5733cc
- 3.484 5740cc
- 5735cc (based on "350")
- etc.

I dont know about the 4 thousandths on the stroke in that one measurement, as far as I've always known the 350 is 4.00 inch bore 3.48 stroke.

Ditto ... I've only ever seen 3.48" for the stroke. If it's 3.484, they've been hiding that .004 for years!
SO, here's the math
:
Pi x r^2 x stroke x # cylinders
(3.141592654) x 2"^2 x 3.48" x 8 = 349.8477579 cu. in.
Now let's convert to metric:
1" = 2.54 cm, but since we're "cubing" the inches, let's "cube" the centimeters (hence, we get "cc's")
2.54^3 = 16.387064 (<--conversion factor)
349.8477579 cu. in. x 16.387064 = 5732.977599 cc
So our 350 is in fact 5733 cc's (or "5.7 L" )
.
