I thought it was a 346, 408 seems to be popular with the new style V8's. If you are wanting to figure up the CI of an engine its
bore X bore X stroke X .7854 X # of cylinders = C.I. for liters take the C.I and multiply it by 16.383 for a rough estimate.
Answer your question?

Take a stock LS1 for example, the bore (diameter of the piston) is 3.898" and the stroke (the lenght the piston travel from top of cylinder to bottom) is 3.622".
Applying the formula given by shinsetsu (bore x bore x stroke x 0.7854 x number of cylinders) : 3.898 x 3.898 x 3.622 x 0.7854 x 8 = 345.79 cubic inches, or 346ci.
To convert in liters, multiply by 0.016383 like BlueSix said : 345.79ci x 0.016383 = 5.665 liters, or 5.7L.
