Default Getting wrong CI when trying to calculate ls1 engine CI displacement

I know im stupid lol. So I'm multiplying 3.14x3.90x3.62x8 and I come up with 354. What am I doing wrong? I was thinking people always said the CI of the ls1 was 346 and I'm getting 354. It's driving me nuts lol

try this formula...basically does the Pi calculations for you

bore*bore*.7854*stroke*#of cylinders....so

3.898x3.898x.7854x3.622x8=345.790454 cubes.

its bore/2, squared, then multiply by 3.14, stroke and number of cyls

so 3.898/2 = 1.949^2, x 3.14 x 3.622 x 8
= 345.61

Area of a circle is pi*r^2
