Formula you ask?
Bore X Bore X Stroke X # of cylinders X 0.7854 =
cubic inches.
e.g: 4.200" (bore) X 4.200" (bore) X 4.25" (stroke-Lunati, heh)X 8 (# cylinders) X 0.7854 =
471 cubic inches.
Hmm, didn't the Colonel say something about a 471 inch new engine for himself?

(pi)r^2*h * #cylinders = displacement

using the example above with 4.2 bore and 4.25 stroke:

pi = 3.141592654

3.1415 * 2.1^2 * 4.25 * 8 = 471.0504025 ci
