Default if LT1 350 is 5.7L , what's a 383?

It might be a stupid question but I never liked math and don't even know how to calculate all this stuff.
If the factory LT1 350 CI is 5.7 Litter, what's a 383 bored over 0.30 is as far as Litter? Is it a 5.9 , 6.1 , 6.3 or what? How does that work.
I'd also like to know what's a 454 as far as Litter. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

http://www.metric-conversions.org/vo...-to-liters.htm

Bore and stroke are what make up CID. How much you can fill each Cyl is measured in CC. Multiply that by the number of cyls, and you get the total motor CC. A 350 is about 5635cc, which is 5.7L. So anytime you see CC, you can usually just guess it's L pretty accurately.

just use google:

Enter a search of the form <number> <unit type 1> in <unit type 2> and it will give you the conversion.

If you don't want to go to the web, it is roughly 61 cubic inches per liter. I usually use 60 because the math is easier.
