Re: What makes a 383ci??
Doesn't matter how long the rods are - they do not determine displacement. Only thing that counts is bore and stroke. Assuming you started with a stock bore of 4.000 and overbored it to 4.030.....
[Area of piston] x stroke x # of cylinders
[PI x (bore/2)^2] x stroke x 8
[3.1416 x (4.030/2)^2] x 4.000 x 8
12.756 x 4.000 x 8 = 408.18 cubic inches
[Area of piston] x stroke x # of cylinders
[PI x (bore/2)^2] x stroke x 8
[3.1416 x (4.030/2)^2] x 4.000 x 8
12.756 x 4.000 x 8 = 408.18 cubic inches

Well basicly a 383 is a 350 with a 400 crank.
Using the formula that Injuneer just posted:
12.57 X 3.75 X 8 = 377.10

how do I figure "area of piston" can you explain that bro?
