Default Experts : 382 Stroker Cube ???"s

OK , so the lunati stroker kit = 382 cubic inches , if its bored or honed somewhere between .035 " & .050" is that enough to change the cubes ? and if it ends up being an equation , could you help with the dimensions ? for example bore" x stroke" x # of cylinders = Y , all of which i dont know!! , i do know that my block was honed .050" before the stroker kit went in . thanx in advance !

Stock: 3.622 stroke x 3.900 bore

Lunati 382ci = 4.000 stroke x 3.900 bore so an extra .005 would net you 384ci.

pi/4 x (bore diameter)^2 x stroke x # of cylinders = cubic inches

So, 3.141592654/4 x (3.905)^2 x 4.00 x 8 = cubic inches

.7853975 x 15.249025 x 4.00 x 8 = 383.25 cubic inches

Pi is not the square root of 10. It is the ratio between the circumference of a circle and its diameter. Thus, if a tree is 1 foot across, a 3-ft. tape measure will not quite fit around the outside. (12" X 3.1416 = 37.6992").

i just thought i would throw this out there , since you guys were so much help the first time , i think 383 = 6.3 liters , but what is the formula for the conversion to go from cubic inches to cubic liters ?

Easy displacement calculator:

bore x bore x stroke x number of cylinders x .7854

(.7854 is the little square of numbers in the upper left corner of a calculator, so you don't need to remember the numbers). The formula also tells you increasing the bore a given amount makes more cubes than increasing the stroke the same amount. Of course, very few people stroke just .005 or .030 inches!

61 cubic inches per liter. (ok, 61.024)

So 383/61 = 6.28 L or 6.3

or 6.28 L x 61 = 383.08 cu. in.

Liters are volume like cubic inches.

so 3.905 x 3.905 x 4 x 8 x .7854 = 383.25 / 61 = 6.282798286 got it , thanx , and ive heard that all you can bore an ls1 is .005 , or i would have gone more ! now everybody has these sleeved , & big bored mommas , if i would have known about them when i was in the middle of my rebuild , i probably would have gone with the 421 , but ill wait , maybe some day , as for now im trying to get a cam for my 383 that will make it do more than 340 rear horse <img border="0" alt="[cry]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[USA]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" /> thanx again !!!

I just use .0164. I multiply or divide depending upon from which measurement I am converting.
