To calculate displacement easily:
bore x bore x stroke x .7854 x # cyl = displacement
4.005 x 4.005 x 3.622 x.7854 x 8 = ?
Hint: 7854 are the numbers in the upper left of a keypad run clockwise. On a phone pad they are in the lower left run counterclockwise.
Extra credit: where does the .7854 come from? (actually .785398163...)
bore x bore x stroke x .7854 x # cyl = displacement
4.005 x 4.005 x 3.622 x.7854 x 8 = ?

I guess that question was too easy for extra credit.
Where does 5252.113122... (usually just "5252") come from in the HP/torque/rpm equation? Why? You're on, LSGun.

The answer was actually just on the History channel a few nights ago. It's more or less James Watt's conversion factor to change newtons, which at the time very few people knew about in the late 1700's, to horsepower, which back then everybody could relate to.

Give this man extra credit even though it's wrong.

It's not wise to imbibe whilst watching The History Channel.
for a reason, now.......
Pi/4 = .785398163...

This one is a little tougher than PI/4, but we use it all the time. It's radians, not radius that 99 mentioned. That was not a typo.
We should not just accept "5252" on faith. Rather we should know from whence it comes. Well, at least IMO.
